<<Cosmos Quartet: closeness, sensitivity, and imagination · Vitality is one of the hallmarks that perpetually fuels the musical trajectory of the Cosmos Quartet. Youthfulness and joy are perfectly combined with reflection and professional seriousness. The imagination imbued in their works has a poetic quality that further increases this appeal. A project like the recording of Brahms' string quartets, in dialogue with the possible influences that were leading the way and the expression of current creations that maintain the format of the genre, fits wonderfully with the quartet’s philosophy and brings to the table new ways of listening to music.

Influences II is the second album of the Cosmos Quartet with which they continue to deepen and perfect their work around the quartets of Johannes Brahms. afterInfluences (Seed Music, 2018), their recording debut with works by Haydn, Brahms and García-Tomás, the Barcelona quartet publishes a new recording also with Brahms (Quartet no. 1), adding the Quartet no. 11 'Serioso' by Beethoven and the disc premiere of the String Quartet no. 1 by Octavi Rumbau, a work they premiered live at the II Biennal de Quartets de Barcelona (2022).
