Alfredo Casella recounts that, one day in 1903, he found Ravel sitting on a bench (the two composers lived on the same street in Paris). He was thoughtful and reread his Quartet, which he had just finished. Neither of them could yet have imagined the success that, after an initial lukewarm reception, that quartet, one of the most loved of the entire twentieth century, would meet. At Trame Sonore, it will be played by one of today’s most important French quartets, the Quatuor Hermès.
