String quartets have long been the preferred choice for composers seeking to express their most personal thoughts and expand their musical voice. For Anthony Ritchie, the string quartet medium is one of the most challenging in classical music, requiring a deep shared understanding between each of the performers and a high level of technical and expressive mastery. The three works on this recording offered the Jade String Quartet the opportunity to truly shine. The ensemble sound is strong, confident, and very impressive, a testament to the concentrated artistry of these four talented musicians.
