Lancia Media Factory news release distribution announces a new Guarneri String Quartet album, “French Album No. 1″ released worldwide on March fifteen, 2011. 1” features one of the seminal monuments to French quartet literature : Ravel’s String Quartet in F major, and reunites the quartet with Grammy winning producer Max Wilcox who recorded their mythical sessions with Artur Rubenstein. Founded in 1964, the Guarneri String Quartet was one of the most significant and revered ensembles in classical music till their retirement in 2009. Described by the N.Y. Times as “having no superior on the planet's stages” the first roster of Arnold Steinhardt (violin), John Dalley (violin), Michael Tree (viola), and David Soyer (cello) also had the excellence of being music’s longest-running inventive collaboration. This recording, made in their 37th year together, was the last by the first lineup.
