 | | "Black Angels," the amazing string quartet written by George Crumb in 1970 in response to the Vietnam War, is what inspired the formation of the Kronos Quartet. |
 | | "Black Angels" is 18 minutes long, and opens the disc, and Shostakovich's 8th quartet, at 20 minutes, is the closer. |
 | | Black Angels is an immensely powerful piece, and this is overall a fine performance of it. |
