Review of Kenneth Fuchs CD Of Fuchs’s “American” String Quartet…the opening movement may be one of the most drop-dead gorgeous things I’ve ever heard, and that I can’t think of another composer since Shostakovich who has drawn such sonorities from a string quartet. This is a masterpiece and, in my opinion, makes Fuchs the greatest living American composer. The work was written for the Delray String Quartet whose members…play it magnificently on this disc. © 2013 Fanfare READ MORE
