Since then the group has risen to the ranks of the world's most esteemed chamber music players through their many recordings and through their concerts in North and South America, Central Europe and Scandinavia. Members of the group are violinists Saul Bitran and Aron Bitran, violist Javier Montiel, and cellist Alvaro Bitran. In concert the group has collaborated with such international figures as flutist Julius Baker, cellist Janos Starker, guitarist Narciso Yepes and conductor Eduardo Mata. The Cuarteto Latinoamericano has recorded most of the existing string quartets by Mexican composers, as well as the traditional repertoire by Ravel, Dvorak, Borodin, Gershwin, and Puccini. Their first digital recording of quartets by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera and Silvestre Revueltas was selected as "Critic' Choice for 1989" by The New York Times. The Cuarteto Latinoamericano has been quartet-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) since 1987. They are also the quartet-in-residence at the San Miguel de Allende Chamber Music Festival in Mexico. Their teaching has influenced a whole generation of Mexican string players.
