Hawthorne String Quartet - Post: String Quartets Nos. 2-4

The string quartet has always seemed to me to be the pinnacle of musical expression,' remarks David L. Post, an American composer who makes 'this modest ensemble sing in seemingly impossible ways' (Fanfare). Whether inspired by the artistry of celebrated Massachusetts photographer Abelardo Morell or Josef Suk's beloved Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale Saint Wenceslas, Post's music is notable for its approachability, clarity and humanity.
