Whether it’s classical, jazz, rock, modern avant-garde or flamenco – the Eos Guitar Quartet is comfortable playing in many styles. Even the Spanish audience – with the highest demands when it comes to guitar music – were convinced, thanks to the collaboration with the famous flamenco singer Carmen Linares. Marcel Ege, Martin Pirktl, David Sautter and Michael Winkler got to know each other when they studied together at the Music Academy in Zurich. They founded the quartet in 1988, taking their name from the Greek word for dawn. Master classes with notable artists at home and abroad as well as initial successes with the public and the press made the four of them a close-knit unit. Appearances on radio and television saw their success continue. This album was first released in 1991, shortly after the group began performing together, and is now available once more. Masterful composers are featured, including Vivaldi, Rossini, and Stravinsky, in arrangements done by the ensemble.
