Mark O'Connor - Mark O'Connor: String Quartets Nos. 2 & 3 (Audio CD - 5/26/2009)

"O'Connor, pied piper of a new brand of Americana, is a maverick. His goal is to make us fall in love with American music--the old timey stuff as well as a new breed that he's inventing as he goes along. It's the language and spirit of this country's native harmony, delivered in classical garb." -- The Oregonian. In Mark O'Connor's own words: "As I continue to develop other artistic interpretations of vernacular and idiomatic music of my own past, I uncover new pathways in discovering how much this music from my childhood means to me in the present tense. With my String Quartet No. 2, I bring to bare one of my favorite music styles I learned as an 11 and 12 year old, bluegrass."
