Pre-Order: Calidore Quartet - American Tapestry [CD]

American Tapestry by the Calidore String Quartet weaves together a panoramic portrait of American musical expression across the 20th and 21st centuries. The programme spans Samuel Barber's lyrical String Quartet No. 1, featuring the iconic Adagio, Wynton Marsalis's jazz-inflected At the Octoroon Balls, and John Williams's With Malice Toward None - here in it's world premiere string quartet version. The album concludes with Erich Korngold's radiant String Quartet No. 3 in D Major, written in postwar Los Angeles. Together, these works reveal a vibrant continuum of American artistry - a sound world both richly diverse and deeply unified in spirit
