Background: Padre Antonio Soler’s extraordinary Six Quintets for Organ and String Quartet are one of the almost unknown major post-Baroque masterpieces of our time, blending the Baroque and early Classical styles with a savoury seasoning of Spanish folk music and dance.

They were written for the musically gifted Prince Gabriel of the Madrid Royal House who demanded they be written for a new instrument of extraordinary compass (GG to f3) to be built by José de Casas rendering them unplayable by other musicians. A special instrument (no longer in existence) was built for him and installed at the Monastery of Escoril.

The Quintets were a new musical form for Padre Antonio Soler and one can observe his startling evolutionary musical growth and excitement in the project as the Quintets grow from 'a grave sadness via rustic plainness to festive brilliance'.
