About this item

"It's above all a sensual approach to tone color that comes through in Third Coast's take on classic works, whether it's the relaxed warmth of the Mallet Quartet or the glistening brightness of "Music for Pieces of Wood." Joined by the pianists David Friend and Oliver Hagen, the ensemble also finds full-blooded drama in the Sextet, which contains within its five movements a world of expressions from impish charm to almost oppressive darkness." --Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, New York Times
