Jennifer Kloetzel interviews with 104.9 IdeaStream - Cleveland

Interview with WCLV: Cleveland - Angela Mitchell

The legacy of the Cypress String Quartet, which celebrated its 20th anniversary and valedictory season in 2016, is sealed by the ensemble's final recording – the two String Sextets by Johannes Brahms in which they are joined by longtime collaborators, violist Barry Shiffman and cellist Zuill Bailey. True to form, the Cypress String Quartet applied innovation to its last recording: live in front of a studio audience at Skywalker Sound Studio. They collectively commented on the addition of Shiffman and ,Bailey "We have had a very long and colorful association with each of these amazing artists and have always wanted to record with them. Zuill and Barry fit in seamlessly while bringing a memorable and refreshing novelty to our collaboration. As for repertoire, the choice was clear: these monumental String Sextets of Brahms, with their warmth and reflective qualities, are perfectly suited to saying farewell."
