Search - Cypress String Quartet :: Middle String Quartets

Following three acclaimed releases for AVIE surveying works by Dvo rák, Schubert, and contemporary Americans, the San Francisco-based Cypress String Quartet turns to the seminal string quartets of Beethoven, performing the five quartets from the composer s middle period. Formed in 1996, the Cypresses added Beethoven to their repertoire early on. Their signature sound, which is clear and transparent, built up from the bottom register and layered like a pyramid, lends itself beautifully to the Middle String
Quartets. Throughout the 2014/15 season, the Cypress String Quartet s international performance itinerary includes Beethoven s quartets, as well as other repertoire from their AVIE recordings.
