Review by Frédéric Assémat

Album Review: Los Cuartetos De Cuerdas De Silvestre Revueltas Alright, buckle up, because this one’s a doozy. Los Cuartetos De Cuerdas De Silvestre Revueltas is not your grandma’s classical music (unless your grandma was really into modern Mexican string quartets). Released in 1987 on the Musica Nueva label, this album feels like stepping into a smoky cantina where everyone’s arguing about politics but somehow still dancing. The genre? Classical. The vibe? Modern with a capital M. And oh boy, does it slap. The album features Silvestre Revueltas’ genius compositions performed by Cuarteto De Cuerdas Latinoamericano, who clearly didn’t come to play—they came to slay. Tracks like “Allegro Con Brio” and “Cuarteto IV - Música De Feria” are burned into my brain for reasons I’ll explain shortly. But first, let me just say that if you’re expecting some prim-and-proper Mozart vibes here, you’re barking up the wrong mariachi band. --- Track Highlights “Allegro Con Brio”: This track hits you right outta the gate like someone spilled salsa on your favorite shirt—messy, spicy, and impossible to ignore. It starts off all jittery, strings bouncing around like caffeinated cats, then BAM! A melody emerges that’s equal parts chaotic and charming. You can practically hear Revueltas cackling in the background as he throws convention out the window. By the time it ends, you’re left wondering what just happened—and kinda wanting more. “Cuarteto IV - Música De Feria”: Now THIS is the jam that made me sit up straighter than a churro dipped in hot chocolate. If “Allegro Con Brio” is chaos at a party, this one’s the hangover after. There’s something haunting yet oddly celebratory about it—it’s like listening to a carnival breaking down at 3 AM while drunk poets mumble verses nearby. The way the violins weave in and out gives me goosebumps, or maybe that’s just from imagining how hard these musicians must’ve practiced to nail those runs. Either way, respect. --- Why This Album Stands Out What makes Los Cuartetos De Cuerdas De Silvestre Revueltas special isn’t just its technical brilliance—it’s the raw emotion packed into every note. These aren’t polite little pieces meant to lull you into naptime; they’re full-blown conversations between instruments that sometimes get heated, other times tender, but always real. Listening to it feels like eavesdropping on a family dinner where everyone talks over each other but somehow still understands. And sure, the recording quality might not be Spotify-level glossy perfection, but honestly? That adds to the charm. It’s like finding an old vinyl record at a flea market—you don’t care if there’s a scratch or two because the soul of the thing shines through anyway. --- Final Thoughts So yeah, Los Cuartetos De Cuerdas De Silvestre Revueltas is wild, unpredictable, and utterly unforgettable. Is it perfect? Nah. Does it need to be? Absolutely not. Because sometimes life isn’t about polished edges—it’s about messy beauty, and this album has that in spades. Oh, and fun fact: Silvestre Revueltas died decades before this album came out, which means his spirit probably haunted the studio during recording sessions. Or maybe that was just the tacos everyone ate beforehand. Who knows?
