| | Kronos Quartet: Caravan |
| | Kronos Quartet (David Herrington, violin; John Sherba, violin; Hank Dutt, viola; Jennifer Culp, cello). | | | Kronos' latest CD, Caravan, their 28th for Nonesuch, shows them exploring numerous musical traditions. | | | The Taraf -- two violins, two accordions, cymbalum and double bass -- and Kronos revel in Perapeskero's dramatic colors, hard-driving rhythms and shifting textures, which range from strings alone to furious scales and wheezing chords on cymbalum and accordion which sound like music for a chase scene in a silent film. |

| | The Kronos Quartet butchers Mexican music. By Adam Baer |
| | What music needs from the Kronos is not this half-assed kitsch but rather a record of smart, new sounds. | | | Kronos splits the difference between the worst attitudes in the World Music camp: Half-assed reverence for the source material prevents them from really having any fun with it, and at the same time, they aren't exactly playing to their strong suit by sticking in the same ballpark with simple, bawdy songs. | | | By releasing an album like this the Kronos are simply biting the hands of the serious listeners who've been feeding them. |

| | Kronos' appearance on Saint Paul Sunday this week features performances of music that also appears on their recent recording, Caravan. | | | The group has managed to revitalize the once deteriorating repertory of new music for string quartet by approaching composers like Volans, whose musical language is not based in traditional western European sound, or even classical sound for that matter. | | | I can't think of a time that so many wonderful things were happening." Indeed Kronos is living and working in a time when the group is able to travel around the world, collecting sounds of different cultures and finding ways to bring these sounds to the ears of its listeners. |

| | Kronos -- a Quartet With Attitude, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann |
| | Kronos began playing traditional quartet music, skewed modern and spiced with jazz and rock arrangements (a frequent encore was Jimi Hendrix's “Purple Haze”). | | | The Kronos Quartet (Nonesuch 79111, released 1986) - This was the first serious Kronos CD, intended to represent a model concert (albeit, at only 49 minutes, a rather short one). | | | While some of the individual Kronos albums are conventional in approach if not content (ie: an integral set of quartets, albeit of Alfred Schnittke), the most intriguing are their “concept” compilations. |

| | ipedia.com: String quartet Article |
| | Although any combination of four string instruments may be called a "string quartet", in practice, the term almost always refers to a group consisting of two violins (the "first" and "second" violin), one viola and one cello. | | | A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string musical instruments or a piece written to be performed by such a group. | | | Mendelssohn's early quartet music shows a remarkable mastery of (and dependence upon) the formal procedures of Beethoven's late quartets, but with a highly original transformation of their expressive significance. |

| | Kronos performed “Mugam Sayagi” and “Apsheron Quintet.” The composer joined them on piano in the latter piece, and also played “Music for Piano,” for which, inspired by Cage’s prepared-piano pieces, she draped a necklace over the middle strings of the piano, making it sound lutelike. | | | At one of their Carnegie concerts, Kronos brought in the Inuit throat-singer Tanya Tagaq, who has collaborated with them to create a work called “Nunavut,” in which each member of the quartet improvises on Tagaq’s low moans and piercing cries. | | | After intermission came Henryk Górecki’s Third Quartet, which the composer finished in 1995 but did not release until last year, perhaps because he was unnerved by the freak success of his Third Symphony. |

| | Kronos Quartet: Caravan ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | The Kronos Quartet was founded in 1973 when violinist Harrington heard George Crumb's "Black Angels" on the radio and resolved to form a quartet to play the piece. | | | The Quartet has since gained attention for its sartorial and marketing flair, but what makes it important is its unusual repertoire; from Morton Feldman to Jimi Hendrix to George Crumb, Kronos is relentlessly devoted to the performance of modern music. | | | The tunes are generally quite melodic and Kronos tackle them all, from the funereal "Szomorú Vasárnap" to the stirringly romantic "Pannonica Boundless," with unabashed ardor. |
