Hailed internationally for their consummate artistry, the Alexander String Quartet is one of the world premier string quartets. “Never have I heard such keen awareness of this dimension of the score as I hear it in this performance. To say that the ensemble plays with a unanimity of attack, articulate phrasing, and penetrating tone is almost beside the point. Today, those aspects of execution are expected from the world’s topflight chamber music players. But what really sets these readings apart for me is the ways in which these musicians connect the dots, so to speak, and find just the right moments and just the right ways in which to reveal to us Mozart’s underlying grand plan.… This is truly phenomenal both in terms of the playing and the recording. … That said, the only word to describe the Alexander Quartet members and Joyce Yang’s playing of [The Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, K 493] is exquisite.” JERRY DUBINS, FANFARE MAGAZINE (Apotheosis, vol. 2 — Mozart: The Piano Quartets, FCL2018) ALLEGHENY RIVERSTONE CENTER FOR THE ARTS is registered as a Charitable Organization with the Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations under The Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes Act, 10 P.S. § 162.I et seq., and is authorized to solicit charitable contributions under the conditions and limitations set forth under the Act.
