The Fine Arts Quartet (violinists Ralph Evans and Efim Boico, cellist Wolfgang Laufer, and new violist Nicolò Eugelmi) just recorded the two magnificent string quartets of Camille Saint-Saëns, the Quartet’s 9th CD for Naxos. The Fine Arts Quartet is one of America’s finest chamber ensembles.
Sessions took place 26–28 October, 2009 at the the Library of Wittem Monastery (Klooster Wittem), The Netherlands. Florian B. Schmidt was the producer engineer.
