Stefan Pintev & Rodrigo Reichel, Violin and Bariton-Violin Jan Larsen, Viola Vytas Sondeckis, Violoncello Frank Skriptschinski, double bass The G-Strings The G-Strings have cast aside the boundaries set by classical music. Since its foundation in 1993 the quintet has systematically played against the grain of established ways of listening. The group's innovative crossings between E and U-music have been enthusiastically celebrated in concert halls and in the press, by classical and jazz audiences. This is in no small degree due to the varied nature of their ranging from Astor Piazzolla's “Tangos Nuevo” to jazz and rock classics, from Dizzy Gillespie, Steely Dan and Mother's Finest to standards by George Gershwin and Duke Ellington. According to the music journal “Fono Forum” the G-Strings' “congenial misappropriation” is fascinating. The G-Strings do not play a classical quintet's cast. Equal play the musicians together and create a sparkling firework. Their soundeffects are amazing:
