MusicWeb International‘s Paul Corfield Godfrey adds to the growing praise for the Alexander String Quartet’s Cindy Cox: Patagón recording: “The opening Elegy for the difficult and sometimes intractable medium of solo violin does no violence to the nature of the instrument, and indeed begins with a sense of rapture which charms the ear before leading…

My newer compositions increasingly link to nature and landscape, and this latest string quartet evokes the idea of the far away, the other-worldly, and the remote.

Having some fun with Patagón
Take a look at a green room pre-concert giggle as Zak refines his “over bowing” technique required by Cindy Cox’s new work Patagón.
