COSMOS QUARTET:
INFLUENCES III
Influences III is the third album by the Cosmos Quartet, with which they close the discographic trilogy dedicated to the quartets of Johannes Brahms, a work on which they have worked and delved deeper in recent years. AfterInfluences (Seed Music, 2018), their debut album with works by Haydn, Brahms and García-Tomás, the Barcelona quartet released Influences II (Seed Music, 2023) with Brahms (Quartet No. 1), adding Beethoven's Quartet No. 11 'Serioso' and the recording premiere of Octavi Rumbau's String Quartet No. 1. In this third volume that we now present, they accompany Brahms' Quartet No. 2 with WA Mozart's Adagio and Fugue K. 546 in C minor and with a contemporary work: Patras, the two string quartets by Manuel Rodríguez Valenzuela.
