Danza Ritual

This haunting, primal release from the EOS Guitar Quartet features works by Georges Bizet, Manuel de Falla, Camille Saint-Saens, and Astor Piazzolla, all with the theme of ritualistic dance. Bizet's Carmen Suite evokes the sensuous but deadly dance of the famous love triangle from Bizet's opera. de Falla's piece El amor brujo translates to Spellbound Love, and features movements that are distinctively Andalusian in character. Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre and Piazzolla's Four for tango round out the release. As one of the "few outstanding formations of their kind" (Basler Zeitung), the Eos Guitar Quartet has been casting a spell over their fans for over 25 years. With seven albums, programmes full of variety and too many concerts to count, the four guitarists from Switzerland have won the respect and enthusiasm of critics.
