Reviews"Rarely nowadays does one encounter a new, living master of the quartet medium, but Elena Ruehr is just that. Her six fluently written quartets are exquisitely performed on this, Avie's third release of Ruehr’s music, by the Cypress and in (No 2) Borromeo Quartets, and the sound is beautifully clear." —Guy Rickards, Gramophone Critic's Choice, December 2018

Written for the Cypress String Quartet, partially commissioned by the Fromm Foundation, and dedicated to Todd Donovan. If there were a nickname for this quartet, it might be the "Romantic Quartet." Although Ruehr's other quartets could be viewed as romantic, both in character and their narrative form, this particular quartet is tied to a belief in music as an expressive, lyrical, and narrative medium. Duration: 23:00
