Read About This Recording

"10/10" —Classics Today

This six-CD set contains the 17 string quartets of Villa-Lobos performed by Cuarteto Latinoamericano.

Includes bonus DVD containing a performance of String Quartet No. 1 and an interview with Cuarteto Latinoamericano. Also includes 20-page book.

"Overall, both the works themselves and these performances remain astonishingly consistent in quality. Sonically you couldn't ask for better. At a bargain price, this is a very attractive proposition for anyone who fancies either the composer or chamber music in general." —Classics Today
