Album Notes

Recorded at the historic Methuen Memorial Music Hall outside Boston, MA, the Borromeo String Quartet's first recording project for Image Recordings, featuring the Quartet and String Duo of Maurice Ravel, was honored with the Chamber Music America/WQXR Award for Recording Excellence in 2001.

This dynamic young group has won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions as well as the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award.  The group has a busy performing schedule at major concert halls throughout the world, and audiences invariably rise to their feet spontaneously at their concerts.  This disc will give you an idea why!

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY...QUOTES

"So rich in detail and variety one might have thought an entire orchestra was playing."
The Washington Post

"It is impossible to imagine a better performance. This quartet combines every 20th-century virtuoso ensemble virtue with an old-world sense of color, character, and style."
The Boston Globe

The Borromeo beautifully capture the uniquely French tone colors of the Ravel Quartet and are right up there with the Italiano, Melos and Guarneri Quartet versions. Wonderful transparency and articulation.

I love Ravel and I am playing some right now. 
This is very romantic and sensuous music, and the players on this album play with the highest level of professionalism.
Very good record.

Outstanding Ravel performance & interpretation!

If you do not care to listen to music like that, please do not call yourself a musician. Even if Ravel is too serious for you, the highest level of musicianship displayed by this amazing string quartet should lift your spirits and make you a happier human being. Excellent CD for anyone who appreciates great music at large!
