I don't know that the compiler would make that much difference as long as you were using a mainstream compiler (examples depend on the language). Magazines like Dr. Dobbs routinely evaluate different compilers for code generation qualities and conformance, but it seems that most of the differences between compilers are only in obscure cases.
I don't think there's a right answer for choosing a programming language either. Some languages are theoretically easier to create quality code in, but the people on the project, the design of the project, the time line, and the product schedule probably ALL have more to do with quality than the language the project is written in.
To answer your question, I would say no - the language and compiler do not have "an important role in projects of high quality". At some point, they could, but for 99.9% of the projects, those choices do not affect quality. Others may have different opinions.
Choice of programming language will rarely have a huge impact on the quality of the software project however the choice should be atleast smart (common sense) such as, one would seldom pick COBOL for nuculear physics computing vs developing a financial transaction processing in system using Fortran. I am sure that either of these scenarios could be implemented however they could introduce unnecessary complexity.
just my 2 cents.
