Old World - New World
Emerson String Quartet
The Emerson String Quartet, winner of 9 Grammys, has released an album of works never recorded during the course of their 30-year career. The release of Old World - New World has been a long cherished dream and features the Emerson's favourite Dvorak middle and late string quartets. A bonanza of romantic melody, not a note on this album has ever before been recorded by the Emersons. It also includes Dvorak's youthful and infrequently performed song cycle on the subject of love, Cypresses, which provides a compelling thematic trove for several of these enamoring quartets.

"...big-boned, high-gloss sound...Cypresses (B.152) has some stunning moments, though the finest readings are of the valedictory Thirteenth and Fourteenth Quartets, the last strongly Brahmsian."
The Independent
"The American group play with a wonderfully suave style, but the gutsy spirit needed for Dvorák keeps poking through...The mellow Cypresses, a transcribed song cycle, offers a welcome change of pace in this pleasing set."
The Times
"These are technically immaculate readings by an elite quartet, equal to all the virtuoso challenges of the Brahmsian C major quartet"
The Sunday Times
"...this is really beautiful quartet playing, with inner parts that are both transparent and well integrated, and that gives the essential impression of four superb musicians sharing matters of vital import, albeit from the standpoint of camaraderie and understanding."
Gramophone
"The Emersons have thought very deeply about this repertoire and their affection and profound experience of this music is evident everywhere...these are interpretations which demand to be heard with their striking attention to detail."
BBC Music Magazine
"All the playing is full of detail ... not a note out of place, and every texture perfectly balanced"
