Lagos EnsembleAbout
The two composers featured on this new hybrid SACD, Mauricio Kagel (1931–2008), and Tristan Keuris (1946–1996), both wrote highly varied works of particularly high quality. In their string quartets they use extremes of rhythm, timbre and register, with complete control of emotional and technical elements. Despite these modernist techniques, the music is often tonal and approachable.
Mauricio Kagel was brought up in Argentina, but became a major influence on 20th century music in America and Europe as a composer and teacher. The Dutch composer Tristan Keuris was also a significant musical figure on both sides of the Atlantic, teaching masterclasses, giving lectures, and writing many successful works on commission.
An extension of the internationally renowned Lagos Quartet, the Lagos Ensemble performs and records a wide range of chamber music, but is especially acclaimed for its performance of contemporary works.
