Anyone in Preston Bradley Hall or listening to the WFMT simulcast of the Ulysses Quartet performance would likely want to purchase their CDs. Each a strong musician and personality in his or her own right, this award winning string quartet works—and plays—hard, in order to come up with seamless performances of challenging repertoire.
We have to wait for these CDs, because the very busy Ulysses Quartet members haven’t had time to record one yet.
Ulysses Quartet DOES have music video recordings of their performances on Youtube, and they have selected four to share with Dame Myra Hess Concert audiences as an encore. Enjoy!
