Description: Five months after the complete cycle was offered here on Albany, we now have a budget version of at least the first four of these vigorous and attractive quartets, marked by a consistency of style based on a frequently chromatic but always tonal vocabulary, a dance-like rhythmic agility and constant love of clear and concise counterpoint. Ives Quartet.
