For this recording the Calidore String Quartet gathered music which transmits ideas by imitating language - its rhythms, cadences and intentions. But it also explores what happens when music substitutes for language. When it fills the void of forbidden speech or even how it carries on when language has been exhausted.\u003cbr\u003e The Calidore String Quartet have been praised by The New York Times for their “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” and\u003cbr\u003ethe Los Angeles Times for their balance of “intellect and expression.” Recipient of a 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, the Calidore String Quartet first made international headlines as winner of the inaugural $100,000 Grand Prize of\u003cbr\u003ethe 2016 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition. The quartet were the first North American ensemble to win the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, they were invited to become BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists and they are currently in residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eString Quartet No. 3, Op. 41\u003cbr\u003eRobert Schumann\u003cbr\u003e1.
