Charleston Symphony String Quartet - Denmark Vesey- String Quartets of Thomas Cabaniss, Vol. II (2024) [24/96]

Composer Thomas Cabaniss and the Charleston Symphony String Quartet bring a new and exquisite recording of Cabaniss’s third, fourth, and sixth string quartets to Navona Records. A complimentary record to the previously released FOUR ELEMENTS, DENMARK VESEY completes Cabaniss’s six-quartet saga. Bearing endless musical complexities masked in an air of exquisite melodic simplicity, the Charleston Symphony String Quartet effectively captures the evolving story between each movement and each quartet. Just as easily as they lean into the melancholy lines of the sixth, whose narrative tells the viscerally emotional story of Denmark Vesey, a slave revolt leader, they capture the harsh futuristic elements of the fourth and the flowing dance movements of the third. No doubt, DENMARK VESEY again proves Cabaniss to be a composer of wide variety, a collaboration that cements his legacy in the string ensemble genre.
