Cuarteto Emispherio - Interconexiones (2023) Hi-Res

The Spanish based oboe quartet, Cuarteto Emispherio, advocates to promote new compositions and already existing works such as the renowned oboe quartets by W.A Mozart and Benjamin Britten. The oboe quartet was formed in 2005 in Seville, where the four members are colleagues in the Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla. The name of the group (a mixture of Hemisferio in Spanish and Hemisphere in English) originates from the fact that each component of the quartet has roots from and ties to different parts of the world; Australia, Canada, England, Moldavia, New Zealand, United States, and of course Spain. Cuarteto Emispherio has performed to great acclaim in many concert series such as el Ciclo de Música de la Boticaria, Noches en los jardines del Real Alcázar, Los Lunes con Nuestros Músicos, and Ciclo de Música de Cámara de la Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla in Seville as well as Tardes de Capricho in Madrid and with the projects Circuito Andaluz de Música, Enrédete and la Red Andaluza de Teatros Públicos, offering concerts throughout the province of Andalucia.

In September 2015, Cuarteto Emispherio released the CD “Quartets for Oboe and Strings”, with the UK label “Oboe Classics”, an album internationally acclaimed by critics, which includes recordings of works by Albéniz, Arnold, Krommer, Wanhal, and the world premiere recording of “Horus” by Ferrer Ferran. In November 2019 the quartet released the digital track of the world premiere recording of “Cuarteto con Oboe” (2009) by Jesús Torres. In 2022 the quartet embarked on a new project “Interconexiones: New Quartets for Oboe and Strings» which consists of the commissions and premieres of five new oboe quartets. All five new works were premiered by the Cuarteto Emispherio during the 2022-2023 ROSS chamber music cycle: XXXIII Ciclo de Música de Cámara in March, 2023 at the concert hall “Espacio Turina”.
