This is absolutely hilarious … or at least, is absolutely hilarious if you are familiar with the world of classical musicians. I don't know how well it translates outside of that. Probably still hilarious.

New #review today: "It’s been quite a few years since the joyful burst of creativity that was #ImmensityCrumb Sings 9 Wedding Favorites, but #ChamberMusic for Sleeping Giants shows that they’ve been far from idle. The core of the group is the duo of Jennifer and Brenden Smith, and for the credits they are simply listed as having written and performed the music; they’re joined by a #StringQuartet and oboe, justifying the album’s title." #ExposeOnline #FolkRock #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/immensity-crumb-chamber-music-for-sleeping-giants-2.html

New# review today: "It is an unfortunate quirk of fate or timing that only now are we covering a release by #KrisDavis under her own name. Her 2019 album Diatom Ribbons is exceptional and should be in the collection of anyone who likes boundary-pushing jazz. Run the Gauntlet sees her leading a trio with #RobertHurst (bass) and #JohnathanBlake (drums), and there is no hint of cocktail #PianoTrio #jazz here." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #StringQuartet #LutosławskiQuartet http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kris-davis-run-the-guantlet-the-solastalgia-suite-2.html

Hilda Paredes / Jake Arditti, Arditti Quartet – Cuerdas del destino (2014, Mexico/UK)
Our next spotlight is on number 919 on The List, submitted by mimo.
This album celebrates renowned Mexican-born/London-based composer, Hilda Paredes, with a handful of her works performed by the string quartet founded and led by her British spouse, the violinist Irvine Arditti, and featuring countertenor vocals by their son, Jake Arditti. A family affair, if you will.
The album includes performances of the following pieces, composed by Paredes between 2000 and 2009:
- Cuerdas del destino (“Strings of Destiny”; 2008) – Paredes’ second string quartet, where the instruments “are conjoined, strung together, moving through phases that are quite different from one another and yet linked, each emerging from the last, until the end, as if indeed the music were pulled, pulling itself, through its attachment to ‘strings of destiny’.”[1]
- Canciones lunáticas (“Lunatic Songs”; 2008-09) – This 3-part piece was written for her stepson, Jake Arditti, inspired by imagery in the poetry of Pedro Serrano. “Madness enters the vocal writing in the sudden leaps, the verbal tics…, the swaying glissandos and the…use of speech-song – and yet this is still a lyrical piece, the voice’s shine sometimes beautifully prolonged by the quartet.”[2]
- Papalote (“Kite”; 2000) – Written for treble voice – particularly that of her stepson while he was still young (I believe he would’ve been about 12 years old when this was composed) – and violin, presumably that of her spouse, “the piece perhaps expresses the intimate kinship between its intended performers…, the violin doubling every one of the voice’s notes, in unisons that certainly add to the piece’s luminosity, while finding its own way from each to the next. The voice is an abstract of the violin, the violin a development of the voice.”[3]
- In Memoriam Thomas Kakuska (2006) – Written for solo violin as part of a memorial concert for “Tommy” Kakuska, a viola player who played in the Alban Berg Quartet for almost 20 years, Paredes “wanted to portray Tommy’s cheerful spirit…by means of working on short contrasting motivic ideas…[and] to express his profoundly melancholic soul…mostly explored in the last section of the piece.”[4]
- Papalote (“Kite”; 2007) – This version for treble voice and string quartet was created for a concert celebrating Paredes’ 50th birthday.[5]
Hope you take a listen and enjoy.
By the way, did you know it’s the second anniversary of the 1001 Other Albums blog today (first post here)?! And, here’s to many more! Like, literally, because we’ve only covered about 230 albums from The List, so it’ll still be a LONG while before we manage to spotlight each of the remaining albums, lol. But, truly, thank you all once again for taking part in the project and listening to the music, I’m immensely grateful for all of you.

Nina Simone's version of "For All We Know", arranged by Jacob Garchik & performed by the Kronos Quartet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvGk1XRGIuU
I'd never heard of this song before, but this arrangement was pretty enough that I went and found the original afterwards. See the video's description for a discussion of the piece.

The Maxwell Quartet’s recent albums include exceptional performances of classical strings quartets, and traditional Scottish folk music — which they previously played as encores. I greatly enjoy the combination.

chapter 1 of my musical #memoir focused on our old family #cello is available in English on my blog: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2024/01/one-hundred-years-of-cellotude.html
The other five chapters only exist in German so far, but maybe I should get on with translating them too.

interesting autobiographical music project in #Limerick by a friend, #klezmer #violinist Anna Lowenstein.
"Two sound worlds shaped Anna's musical blueprint: through one wall came Hasidic prayer, and through the other, her father's string quartet rehearsals. Anna’s knowledge and experience of traditional Yiddish instrumental music is explored through original melodies and her love for the classical string quartet."

“High Strung” EP Now Available!
My new Classical Crossover EP is now available in several places, with releases on streaming platforms coming soon.
You can currently find it on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Bandwagon, and even as a physical CD! Enjoy it now, ahead of the streaming world! 🥳
Check out “High Strung”!Featuring the musicianship of Sarah Wallin Huff on violin and viola and Marina Tseova on cello, a blistering original for string trio kicks things off [my brand new metal trio, “Flight of Ecstasy“], setting a visceral tone with relentless drive. Then this EP dives into genre-blurring tributes, transforming the raw energy of Guns N’ Roses and the rhythmic intricacy of Pat Metheny into vibrant string arrangements that refract their legacies through a chamber lens. In this crucible of past and present, chamber strings are incendiary forces of reinvention.
