September 2, 2010 · The Cypress String Quartet is exploring the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, who said "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. It is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit."
For their latest release, Cypress has given us Beethoven's "Opus 130" and the last quartet music he ever wrote, a finale he revised.
Cellist Jennifer Kloetzel discusses the recording process and the monumental Grosse Fuge with Classical Spothlight's John Clare.
The group, which includes Kloetzel, Cecily Ward, Tom Stone and Ethan Filner , is scheduled to perform as guests of the San Antonio Chamber Music Society in January. |
