About the quartet:
“Musical virtuosity and eloquence comes from hard work and self-discipline. Hard
work and self-discipline requires mental strength and sanity.
Paradoxically, in today’s over-controlled lifestyle the true sign of
mental strength and sanity is a bit of extrovert craziness. When
combined with the enthusiasm and self-confidence that comes from skill
and virtuosity, controlled madness can be the source of great musical
energy. Crazy energy is a rarity, especially in the form of
musical eloquence. When you experience it, enjoy! Here it is.”
