Quarteto do Sol - Quarteto do Sol

Quarteto do Sol (Quartet of the Sun)

I-Tunes:

In the Spanish magazine consecrated to traditional music “LA JILA,” a critical survey was published where one reads: “It is difficult to explain with words what the Quarteto do Sol does with music: magic, romanticism, poetry, its greatest virtue is to give musical form to the aromas of its land and there aren’t many who can do that...the best we have heard in a long while.” The Quarteto do Sol was born publicly, one afternoon in April of 1993, under the pretext of a presentation that took place in Portalegre called “Os Lagóias e os Estrangeiros” (a book of poems by Carlos Garcia de Castro and photographs by Raul Ladeira ). The literature, the music and the images formed themselves into a unity (as if permanently illuminated by the sun, by the indisputable sonorous timbre associated with it), not just as a product, but above all, of people found in a place of transformed common motivations, transposed from the concrete situations of that space to an expansive freedom of the senses and its imaginary temporal registers. And it is done properly and with good taste. It elicits superiority. It is the gift of Art. It is a Quartet of light, remotely inspired in Schubertian excellence, in its very fine orchestral quality, by the technique and by the instruments, but most of all, by the great demands of the lyrical, of the voice. As a performance, it is enveloped within the diorama of Raul Ladeira, which it completes, dissolves into, not as an accessory illustration, but as a constituent dimension – a synaesthetic harmony. It is demonstrated by the intention towards a unity. It is the medium. The literary support from the sung verses functions as a compromise – sociological, in which its poetics imply a “magic place” of the space and exaltation of a City – Portalegre, that projects itself, expands itself within itself and even goes beyond itself, already without reference to only one place, but as a signal of the permanence of Portuguese culture, which may be a provocation, a Saudade [yearning], innovations and contrasts – the musical condition.
