Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Piano Quartet in E-flat major, K. 493

In a new project by the Alexander String Quartet and pianist Joyce Yang, Samuel Adams – composer in residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra – explores the resonance of Mozart with his own unique musical voice. Adams is curious to know what is rhetorically kept (or lost) when a classical form comes forth "into the flesh" out of context; and these award-winning master performers weave an exciting musical tapestry.

"An unusually fine group — musically, technically, in just about any way one wants to view it." (The New York Times)
