Ravel wrote his only String Quartet as a 27-year-old student of Faure at the Paris Conservatoire. After initial doubts from his mentor, the work went on to famously launch Ravel’s career and become one of the pinnacles of chamber music literature.
The Shanghai Quartet has rapidly risen to the top ranks of the international chamber music circuit. Through their extensive discography and international touring, they have become recognized by the press and public alike as one of today’s finest quartets. Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1982, the foursome’s touring career was launched after winning the prestigious Chicago Discovery Competition. They have since performed regularly in all the major music centers of North America, Europe and Asia and have collaborated with many distinguished musicians, including Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Sharon Isbin, Eugenia Zukerman and Yo-Yo Ma. They have been in residence at the Tanglewood and Ravinia Festivals and The Juilliard School. The new cellist of the Shanghai Quartet, Nicholas Tzavaras, who performs in the Ravel on this disc, is the son of Roberta Guaspari, Artistic Director of the famed Opus 118 Music Center in Harlem and subject of the Meryl Streep film Music of the Heart. James Wilson, long-time former cellist of the Shanghai Quartet, who recorded the Bridge works, has since gone on to pursue a solo career.
