Traditio takes its title from the Latin word for the act of handing something over — not preservation, but active transmission. Built around that idea, this program brings together three composers across five centuries, each proposing a different relationship with received heritage. Recorded at the Auditorio de San Francisco in Ávila, Traditio is Cuarteto Iberia‘s debut album for Eudora Records.

Luigi Boccherini occupies the heart of the album. Two of his works appear here: the Quartettino ‘La Tiranna’ G. 223, a vivid synthesis of Classical elegance and the popular musical world of Madrid, and the Quartettino G. 230, presented in its world premiere recording, a work never previously edited or recorded.

Mozart’s String Quartet K. 387 ‘Spring’ and Mateo Flecha’s ensalada La Negrina — arranged for string quartet, voices and percussion by the ensemble’s cellist Arnold Rodríguez — complete a program that Cuarteto Iberia perform with conviction and a refined sense of stylistic identity.
