String Quartets Nos. 6 & 7Bis on CD

This is a remastering of a concert given by the Gerhard Quartet at the Fundación Juan March on 6 June 2023. It features the world premiere recordings of String Quartets Nos. 6 and 7bis by Conrado del Campo (1878-1953); one of the most original but least well-known Spanish composers of the first half of the twentieth century. The concert was part of the Proyecto Conrado; whose remit involves progamming the first complete cycle of his thirteen string quartets; producing a complete edition of the scores; most of which have never been published; and releasing recordings of the quartets (in various formats). The aim of this ambitious initiative is to rescue a significant body of of works from the undeserved neglect into which they have fallen.
