Concert Artists
Alexander String Quartet
The Alexander String Quartet have frequently performed for Fullerton
Friends of Music (2000 and 2002 were the most recent performances) and
remain a favorite of both FFM organization board members and FFM
founder, Beulah Strickler.
The ASQ's discography include the recording of the complete set
of Beethoven String Quartet's, which have drawn critical acclaim
from publications such as the Penguin
Guide to Bargain Compact Discs (c)1998 Ivan March Publications
and other Musical publications.
The following quote is excerpted from a review of their Arte Nova label CD recording of the Opus 18, Nos. 3 & 4 and Opus 69, Nos.
2 & 3 (Rasumovsky) Beethoven Quartets:
"Although these are
rock-bottom-priced discs, they are top drawer performances and
excellent recordings. This group plays with fine musical intelligence
and exemplary taste, and the recorded sound is excellently balanced"
from the Penguin Guide to
Bargain Compact Discs (c)1998 Ivan March Publications.
More information about the ensemble and their discography can be
found on their new website at:

Eduardo Delgado
Eduardo Delgado, a master class instructor at the Cal State
University Fullerton School of Music , also performed for Fullerton
Friends of Music in 2004 as a memberof the Premiere Trio, which the
ensemble performed work for Piano Trio by Mendelssohn,
Schubert and Beethoven.
Mr. Delgado's discography includes solo piano music of
Argentinian composer, Alberto Ginastera for Tokyo-based MA Records and
a set of Argentine Songs with Argentine tenor José Cura for
Erato Records. Recent recordings include a CD recorded in Buenos
Aires of piano works of Schumann, Chopin and Mendelssohn.
The following quote by Alicia de Larrocha regarding Mr. Delgado's
Ginastera MA label CD recording:
"These
works by Ginastera, masterfully interpreted by Eduardo Delgado, deserve
to be available to every musician and music lover.Besides being a
recording of enormous interest, it suffices to say that the character
and essence of this music could not be better interpreted than in this
version by Eduardo Delgado."
-- Alicia de Larrocha
