The Music of Madrid in the Time of Goya

On their album ΑΤΟΜΟΣ (2025), Cuarteto Quiroga returns to the essence of the string quartet genre. The influential Haydn and Beethoven were natural choices. At Bozar, the Spanish quartet will play Haydn’s String Quartet in D Minor (op. 42), probably written for a Spanish patron in 1784. Beethoven’s String Quartet no. 11 is nicknamed Serioso, not only for its sombre atmosphere, but also because it reflects Beethoven’s experiments with writing serious music, as opposed to salon music. String quartets by his contemporaries Boccherini and the Portuguese composer João Pedro de Almeida Mota may be familiar from Cuarteto Quiroga’s other album, The Music of Madrid in the Time of Goya. An unmissable reference to the Goya exhibition at Bozar. ​​​​​​​
