Eclipse Quartet’s Concert Full of Clarity and Conversation

What was most captivating about Eclipse String Quartet’s March 22 performance at Roulette in Brooklyn was the clarity with which each melodic line sung through the hall. Every instrument and player brought their own qualities that were never lost in the ensemble, while at the same time coming together in conversation and moments of blend. This was particularly important given their choice of Ruth Crawford’s String Quartet, a highly contrapuntal work rich in dialogue.
