The String Quartets/String Trio

Cuban composer, conductor, guitarist, researcher, and pedagogue Leo Brouwer is one of the most important and fascinating
figures in international classical music. This disc presents his complete string quartets, plus his String Trio from 1958, in authoritative
composer-sanctioned recordings including the world premiere recording of Quartet No. 4. The Havana String Quartet, founded in
1980 on the initiative of Leo Brouwer, is known for its unique cross-cultural repertoire and accomplishments in a variety of musical
styles. The HSQ has collaborated with Eliot Fisk, Pepe Romero, Javier Perianes, Afro-Cuban jazz legend Orlando Cachao López,
Cheik Lo, singer Ibrahim Ferrer, the Buena Vista Social Club, Magic Malik, and Cuban percussionist Miguel Angá Diaz.
