Customer Reviews

If you want to learn the Ives quartets, get this CD5
This is an excellent recording of the Ives quartets, pieces which are very approachable, classically, compared to the rest of Ives' works. The quartet, recorded in their accustomed home at Brandeis, is very well balanced, and the beautiful viola and cello playing is heard clearly. The short pieces 'Hymn' and 'Halowe'en' are a bonus.

Best Ives quartets, ever5
I think this is the best recording of the Ives quartets, Emerson Qt. notwithstanding.
