The Pascal String
Quartet was founded
in the early 1940s by Léon Pascal, who was previously the
violist of the Calvet Quartet. They were active throughout the
1940s and continued in the 1950s as an internationally respected,
top ranking chamber group and were the most recorded French Quartet
of its time.
Pascal Quartet recordings, mostly of the classical and French
romantic repertoire, exemplifies the French School at its best:
Consummate, elegant music making in a pure style that sounds bright
and fresh and is consistently impeccable in every detail - with
beauty, brilliance and clarity of tone, perfect ensemble, immaculate
intonation and a luminous blend of the four instruments. Their
recordings have won the coveted Grand Prix du Disque for three
years in succession.
It was one of the few foremost string quartets whose personnel
has not changed over the many years they were functioning as the
Pascal Quartet.
Their extensive tour of North America, in the 1949-50 season,
was accorded jubilant reception by the public and the critics.
