	Arts \| Vienna String Sextet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		They began with Mozart's String Quintet in C Major, K515, in whose opening movement the tendency to repetition of the thematic material in the minor mode is so potent.
		In bringing weight to the complex development sections of the work, the sextet underlined its structural force, thus managing to counterbalance the risk that their sound be overly refined.
		In this - the original scoring for string sextet, rather than the later string orchestra arrangement - the intimacy and sensuality of the music was overwhelming, attaining exactly the transfiguring power to which the Richard Dehmel poem that inspired the piece alludes.

	BRAHMS String Sextet No 2, Quartet No 1 MDG 307 1281-2 [MC]: Classical CD Reviews- Feb 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		String Sextet No. 2 in G major, op.
		36 Sextet, subtitled Agathe, uses both rhythm and musical notation, the notes A-G-A-H-E (forget the T, the "H" is B natural in German notation), to evoke the name of Brahms’ beloved, Agathe von Siebold, from whom he fled when their marriage seemed expected and impending.
		In the C minor String Quartet the Leipzig String Quartet give a thoughtful, rather measured and poised interpretation which fails to reveal the intense heart-searching temperament of this passionate score.

	The Joachim Raff Society - String Sextet
		It was also the year when he created two masterful works for chamber ensembles - the String Octet op.176 and the String Sextet in G minor op.178.
		For a man with such a prolific chamber music output (eight String Quartets, five Violin Sonatas, four Piano Trios) it is odd that he wrote only one work for each of several larger ensembles: Piano Quintet, String Sextet, String Octet and Sinfonietta for ten Winds.
		The Sextet medium was still a novelty when the work was written - only Brahms' pair of works from the last decade were then well known.

	Cerha: String Quartets
		His String Quartet No. 1, composed in 1989, is subtitled "Maqam." The maqam is the main modal unit of Arabic music, a collection of intervals (both tonal and microtonal) forming the basis for a composition.
		The sextet is based on eight texts by Hölderlin.
		The composer began by "setting" the texts as lieder and then "increasingly submitted these melodies to musical stylization because I didn't want to have the texts sung." Thus the movements reflect something of the mood and "speech melodies" of the poetic fragments.

	Classical Net Review - Dvořák - String Quintet, String Sextet, Intermezzo
		The String Quintet in G was written in 1875 during a vital period when the composer was struggling to make ends meet.
		The Sextet in A was written in 1878 when Dvořák's inspiration was at its height; in fact he had just composed his first set of Slavonic Dances which took Europe by storm.
		The Sextet is saturated with Czech rhythms and the second and third movements are a Dumka and Furiant respectively.

		sextet Die Innere Grenze, scored for two violins, two violas and two cellos, belongs to a larger cycle of instrumental works.
		To this fairly linear process I have added in the sextet another dimension by inserting at specific points excerpts from a piece I wrote several years before, my string trio.
		The fragments of the trio underwent several types of transformation, from simple ones which did not alter their basic identity, to complex ones which destroyed any chance to recognize the original in them.

	Dvorak: String Sextet in A; String Quintet in G, Nash Ensemble \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Dvorak: String Sextet in A; String Quintet in G, Nash Ensemble
		The quintet, completed in 1875, was the work in which he defined his mature musical language, while three years later the sextet was his first to be couched in a recognisably Czech style, and also his first to attract international attention.
		By contrast the central pair of movements in the Sextet are unmistakable Dvorak, while in that work's leisurely opening Allegro, Schubert's influence seems the most important; there's even a repeated quotation from his C major String Quintet.

	KORNGOLD String Sextet (1915) String Quartet No 3 : Classical CD Reviews- November 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The sextet is the work of a seventeen year old already enjoying celebrity and, no doubt, envy.
		Mr Carroll points out that this was the first of his scores to reuse material from the film scores: Between Two Worlds; The Sea Wolf (a cracking film though not a patch on Jack London's original novel) and Devotion (recently recorded complete by Marco Polo).
		In any event here is an accessible and inspired CD of the first two and a strong pair of performances satisfying in themselves and whetting anticipation for the next disc.

		His contribution to the string quartet lies in two of the first Russian quartets to attain prominence in the repertoire, starting in 1875 with the lyrical first and ending ten years later with the summery second.
		ASV have generously included the unfinished two movement String Sextet here, with the Lindsays joined by viola player Louise Williams and cellist Raphael Wallfisch in a fulsome reading of a work that owes a lot to Mendelssohn, its harmony and melody adapted to please German music listeners.

		Copenhagen Classic is a string sextet ensemble from Denmark that had its debut in 1997.
		Although there are no comparison recordings of either the Sextet or Quintet, I am confident that the group gives this music all the lyricism and angst that can be derived from the scores.

	The Joachim Raff Society - CD reviews - String Sextet & Piano Quintet.
		This welcome disk seems to have been a long time coming - the booklet reveals that the Piano Quintet was recorded way back in April 2001, although the Sextet recording is under a year old.
		Both works can be numbered amongst Raff's finest creations for chamber ensembles but, despite that, this CD is the recording premiere for the Sextet and the Quintet has only appeared once before - on an Adriano LP of very limited circulation a quarter of a century ago.
		Raff's biography is surely well known enough by now for it to merit only a couple of paragraphs in booklet notes but here most of the space is devoted to it, at the expense of a longer discussion about the music.

		A string sextet is a plush vehicle for a melodist, if a nightmare for structuring intricate development sections.
		There is no doubt that these recordings attest to greatness with their beautiful balancing and clarity of the sextet voices.
		While this is sufficient in meeting the requirements for making a "blueprint" recording or studying the technique of string and chamber playing, it is perhaps unrewarding when wanting to be moved by the act of communcation through a true musical experience.

		(...) A kind of bravura unrest informs the piano concerto, string trio, and string sextet.
		Rather, however, than a socially relevant rage, the disturbances play (happily) as Gallic-cool: a succession of unanticipated intervallic leaps, harmonies, timbral mixes on an irregular rhtyhmic footing.

		One of Brown’s primary interests has always been in string arrangements...So, it’s not surprising that much of the musical expression of Williams’ work includes string arrangements, specifically employing most of the musicians from Song Of The Sun.
		Tyrone Brown's 'Suite for John A. Williams' is one of those uncommon recordings that creates a synthesis between two art forms, the music illuminating the literature and the literature giving rise to the music.

	CD Review of Tyrone Brown String Sextet - Between Midnight and Dawn on Dreambox Media @ jazzreview.com
		The thought a listener would have here is if he just has an affinity for strings, or if Brown is just more comfortable with strings backing him up.
		As aforementioned, there is an obvious nod to Sephardic-tinged music within this album with the strings displaying the shifting half-step chords over and over again as if they were carrying on a drone.
		Tyrone Brown must be a fan and supporter of John Zorn's Masada String Trio, and his Bar Kokhba project, because that is coming up as the major Sephardic and Arabic style influences within the album.
