This CD marks the debut recording of a remarkable young chamber ensemble - the Daedalus Quartet, Grand Prize winner of the Banff International String Quartet Competition.

The Toronto Star wrote about the quartet’s “combination of stylistic awareness, technical polish and sheer musicality. In the hands of such musicians, the future of chamber music looks sunshine bright.” Honored at the Library of Congress with giving the opening concert of the season, The Washington Post reported “such security, technical finish interpretive unity and sheer gusto, it sounded as if these young string players had somehow been performing these works together for a good 50 or 60 years....the Daedalus members were so at-one with their composers, we were happily caught off-guard by every emotional surprise they sprang.”

On this recording the Daedalus performs masterworks by three of the early twentieth century’s greatest composers- Sibelius, Stravinsky and Ravel.
