Synopsis

Album Description

"O'Connor, pied piper of a new brand of Americana, is a maverick. His goal is to make us fall in love with American music--the old timey stuff as well as a new breed that he's inventing as he goes along. It's the language and spirit of this country's native harmony, delivered in classical garb." -- The Oregonian In Mark O'Connor's own words: "As I continue to develop other artistic interpretations of vernacular and idiomatic music of my own past, I uncover new pathways in discovering how much this music from my childhood means to me in the present tense. With my String Quartet No. 2, I bring to bare one of my favorite music styles I learned as an 11 and 12 year old, bluegrass."

O'connor String 4tet

Rozann Baghdad Kraus | USA Earth | 06/14/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a great fan of O'Connor's music. This sounds like fabulous music to perform and hear live, but, at first listening is not quite as accessible as some of his other work. It is still gloriously beautiful, but nott my new favorite."
