Terry Riley & Kronos Quartet - Cadenza On The Night Plain And Other String Quartets (1985 Version)

“Cadenza on the Night Plain presents four of Terry Riley’s works for string quartet, works that, if your only acquaintance with Riley has been pieces on the order of In C or other larger-scaled works, are going to be something of a surprise — no matter how complex and abstract their conceptual underpinnings, they are possessed of a refreshing liveliness and clarity… the performance by Kronos Quartet is, as might be imagined, the definitive performance: Riley and the Quartet have been collaborating since the late 1970s.” Robert Tilendis, Green Man Review
