Brahms: String Sextets Op.18 and Op.36 AV2294
The year 2016 heralded both the Cypress String Quartet’s 20th anniversary and the group’s valedictory season. With this final album, the CSQ completes its remarkable legacy in an innovative flourish, recording the two Brahms Sextets in both high-resolution digital and analogue formats, live before a studio audience at Skywalker Sound, where they share the Scoring Stage with long-time friends and collaborators Barry Shiffman (viola) and Zuill Bailey (cello). CD booklet includes original Program Notes by Jan Swafford. Available January 6, 2017.
