Album Description

Acclaimed as America's premier postclassical string quartet, ETHEL invigorates contemporary concert music with refreshing exuberance, fierce intensity, imaginative programming and exceptional artistry. “This ultra-virtuosic ensemble can dig into its strings like rockers, is shamelessly amplified in all that it does, but projects startling clarity of musical comprehension… unlike anything I've encountered.” - Philadelphia Inquirer 10/11/03 "Ethel was as fresh and direct as crowds dancing in the street" -Wall Street Journal, 5/21/2003 "Now that it has dazzled critics and hipsters around New York, Ethel is poised to bring its downtown, genre-bending sensibilities to a larger audience." -Billboard, 9/13/2003
