Roumain - Klap Ur Hands [Remix with Percussion]
The Lark Quartet, Maria Bachmann and Deborah Buck violins;
Kathryn Lockwood, viola and Astrid Schween, cello, are featured on
Klap Ur Handz, a new Endeavor Classics recording. The CD of all
American composers features world premieres by Daniel Bernard
Roumain (DBR) and Paul Moravec, a quartet by Peter Schickele,
as well as never before recorded arrangements of five Gershwin songs.
This Klap Ur Handz recording of an American musical landscape
represents the Lark Quartet's long-time association with new music
and adventuresome programming. The recording includes traditional
string quartet performances and explores a fresh innovative style
with contemporary music including a remix of Daniel Bernard Roumain’s
(DBR) Quartet No. 5 with a hip-hop drum track.
Performing with a unique blend of excitement, individuality,
technical brilliance and an unusually sonorous quartet sound,
the Lark Quartet is critically acclaimed for a strong presence of
each member of the quartet. These performers have combined to
form a "polished and warmly communicative ensemble" that delivers
"a performance of grace, proportion, and burnished brilliance,"
according to Tim Page of the Washington Post.
