Maurice Ravel was prescient in his understanding of recorded music’s audience-reaching potential. While it seems fitting that the 150th anniversary of his birth is acknowledged with an indulgence of recordings, if any one composer epitomized the idea of quality over quantity, it was Ravel, clearly convinced that one string quartet was enough. Perhaps the Attacca Quartet was of a similar mind when it chose to focus on this singular chamber work.

The two-time Grammy Award-winning Attaccca Quartet commemorates the 150th anniversary of Ravel’s birth with a recording of Ravel’s String Quartet in F, an EP that also marks their debut in the Platoon record label.

Celebrated for their versatility and ability to seamlessly navigate between traditional classical repertoire and contemporary collaborations, the ensemble continues to push the boundaries of the traditional string quartet experience. Recent projects have included collaborating on the original score for the Ken Burns documentary Leonardo Da Vinci, bringing FINNEAS’s score to life in Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple+ series Disclaimer, and appearing on the virtual stage of best-selling video game Red Dead Redemption 2.
