BLACK ANGELS - KRONOS QUARTET (LP)

Nonesuch releases Kronos Quartet's award-winning 1990 album Black Angels on vinyl on February
16  2024  to coincide with Kronos Quartet: Five Decades   a year-long celebration of the
quartet's 50th anniversary. First released in 1990  the album features David Harrington
(violin)  John Sherba  (violin)  Hank Dutt (viola)  and Joan Jeanrenaud (cello) performing
George Crumb's title piece  which inspired Harrington to found the quartet in 1973  and works
by Charles Ives  István Márta  Thomas Tallis  and Dmitri Shostakovich. Crumb's title piece 
called an unusually elevated and searing Vietnam War protest? by the New York Times   sets a
dark  powerful tone for this collection  which addresses the political physical spiritual
consequences of war. The fourth side of the vinyl edition is an etching of an illustration
created especially for this purpose by Matt Mahurin  whose work is featured on the original
album cover. Stylishly packaged  intelligently programmed  superbly recorded and brilliantly
performed ? proclaimed Gramophone . In short  very much the sort of disc we've come to expect
from the talented and imaginative Kronos Quartet.? The Evening Standard included it among its
100 Definitive Classical Albums of the 20th Century.?
