Classical Music for a New Generation June 22, 1999
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have been listening to classical music (of my own accord) since i was fifteen; i am now twenty years of age, and i know of no other classical string quartet that plays with as much technical expertise, emotional sensitivity, and unity of expression than the Kronos Quartet. This is perhaps makes them a perfect marriage for Phillip Glass' string quartets... This compact disc, upon first listening has complexities and subtleties to the composition that appear as noise, but as you listen to it more, your ear will begin to understand the pieces. This is classical music, yes, but it is classical music for a new generation -music with a new voice, speaking to a new ear. Thoroughly worth every penny you spend on it, this disc will either move you, challenge your musical sensiblities, or take you into a new vein of classical music.... Like this cd? I would suggest: Arvo Part's "Kanon Pokajanen," Kronos Quartet " Different Trains," or Rachel's "The Sea and the Bells." (Given that Bach exists, I could not give this disc a five star rating)
 too good--do not lend this February 23, 1999

I'm only buying this because my boss has my copy and he won't give it back. I love this quartet, and Philip Glass.
My longstanding favorite single CD... October 9, 1998

I'm no musician, I just know what I like. I like each work of this CD in the way I assume it was intended to enter the listener. At times, it's purely mathematical, wonderfully somber and psychologically reflexive. This is the CD I can't bring myself to turn off for any reason: no interuption seems enough to ever make me stop listening.
