American Tapestry

Calidore String Quartet

Format: Digital

With "American Tapestry" the Calidore String Quartet weaves a panoramic portrait of American musical style in the 20th and 21st centuries. On the programme are Samuel Barber's lyrical String Quartet No. 1 with the iconic Adagio, Wynton Marsalis' jazz-influenced At the Octoroon Balls and John Williams' With Malice Toward None - here in world premiere as a string quartet version. The album closes with Erich Korngold's radiant String Quartet No. 3 in D major, written in Los Angeles in the post-war period. Together these works reveal a vibrant continuum of American art - a sound world that is both richly diverse and deeply united in spirit.
