REVIEW OF LYDIANS' PERFORMANCE OF LEE HYLA'S 3RD QUARTET IN BOSTON'S JORDAN HALL

The Boston Classical Review's David Wright reviews our performance of Lee Hyla's 3rd quartet at Boston's Jordan Hall: "Hyla’s method of allowing a piece to blossom gradually from a single opening note was heard once again in the String Quartet No. 3, composed in 1989 for the Lydian String Quartet and performed by that group Thursday.  The well-knit veteran ensemble expertly realized Hyla’s sonic effects from all-out rage to wisps of sound to moments of chugging rock rhythm."

REVIEW FROM OUR CONCERT FOR THE CARMEL MUSIC SOCIETY (CA), FROM PENINSULA REVIEWS' DAVID BEECH, MAY 11, 2013

"The performers rose to the occasion with strong playing throughout their program of Boccherini, Mozart, and Glazunov. Particularly notable was the centerpiece of the evening, Mozart's D-minor Quartet, K.421, the one undisputed masterpiece on this enjoyable program. It was clear that the players truly loved this work and really enjoyed performing it." Read complete review here
