The Alexander String Quartet brings to life the complete quartets of Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály in this new 3-CD release. Contemporaries and fellow ethnomusicologist-composers, Bartók and Kodály wrote some of the most beautiful, beguiling, and ultimately influential string quartet music of the 20th century. Producer and multiple Grammy® winner Judith Sherman captured the recordings of these eight quartets under superb conditions, performed on the Ellen M. Egger Quartet of instruments by luthier Francis Kuttner.
