With a 2010 Grammy nomination for “Best Chamber Music Performance,” the Enso String Quartet has quickly become one of the country’s most exciting young ensembles. The quartet’s debut recording was described by Strad Magazine as “an auspicious start to their recording career,” and was followed by the recent Grammy-nominated release of the quartets of Ginastera. The disc was selected as one of MusicWeb’s Recordings of the Year for 2009. In addition to the success of their recordings, the Enso Quartet’s live concerts have been highlighted by audiences and critics alike - for their “edge-of-the-seat vitality few groups maintain throughout a performance” (Houston Chronicle), “thrillingly athletic performance” (Washington Post) and “neat, well balanced and lyrical…lively and intelligent” playing (Gramophone). Two CD recordings have been released on the Albany Records label that feature the quartet in world premiere recordings of music by Karim Al Zand and Anthony Brandt.
