With this wonderful quartet formed by Henrique Almeida, Tal Botvinik, Ptolemaios Armaos and Tobias Juchem, the music regains all its superiority.

It is an avant-garde work with excellent complex compositional ideas and very well interpreted. 

The Catalan singer Assumpta Mateu, professor of singing at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, stands out not only for the quality of her voice -which thrills- but also for the warm interpretation of Feliu Gasull’s “Fantasía sobre dos temas de Manuel de Falla” (Fantasy on two themes by Manuel de Falla). 

In the piece “Atem Pause”, by the Japanese pianist and composer Mayako Kubo, the strength of the quartet reappears with voices, percussions on the wood of the guitar that, as a dialogue, reveals an eclecticism that allows the composer to accommodate a free and plural compositional style.

The quartet for four guitars by the Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas uses different tunings based on the harmonics of the note D (Ré).

In Phasma, the Cologne Guitar Quartet has succeeded in constructing a truly delightful musical universe in a contemporary idiom.
