The Escher String Quartet's recording of the complete string quartets of Charles Ives and Samuel Barber for BIS Records received a glowing review in The Strad Magazine upon its release.
The Strad praised the release as "brilliantly detailed… a first-rate release all around" — high praise from one of the most authoritative voices in the string world.
The recording documents the Escher Quartet's longstanding commitment to the American string quartet repertoire, pairing two of the 20th century's most distinctive American voices in a single, authoritative survey.
