About this product
Composer Elena Ruehr adds to her extensive discography with Icarus, an album of chamber music infused with hints of history, legendary literature and close collaborations with a multitude of musical colleagues. The repertoire revolves around the string quartet, a genre that generated great acclaim for Elena's Six String Quartets (AV2379). Elena's String Quartet No. 7, InchA Thousand CranesInch, evokes experiences and resilience of children in wartime, including the internment of Japanese in American camps, and her own father's escape from Nazi Germany. Her playful String Quartet No. 8, InchInsect DancesInch - Inchwritten for listeners of all agesInch - finds a diverse family of bugs engaged in an impish dinner party. Inspired by T. S. Eliot, The Worlds Revolve, for piano and string quartet, conjures elements both ancient and prescient. The title track, for clarinet and string quartet, centres on the Greek mythological character's excitement as he builds his wings of wax and dares to fly, rather than his dark demise as he flies too close to the sun.

Icarus Quartet's debut album, BIG THINGS, is comprised of three substantial works by composers Michael Laurello, Brad Lubman, and Paul Lansky that have helped catalyze the unmistakable aesthetic of this half piano/half percussion group. The album opens with Michael Laurello's rhythmically driving InchBig Things,Inch an arrangement dedicated to icarus Quartet. Brad Lubman's InchTangentsInch eschews any given or predictable narrative in favor of a nonsensical dreamworld that also inspired the pancake-themed album art. Paul Lansky's eight-movement work InchTexturesInch celebrates the multifarious sonic potential of percussion and piano together. Laurello, Lubman, and Lansky have each been elemental to the existence of the ensemble and it is with great pleasure that icarus Quartet shares their music on this energetic 60-minute tour de force.

After making their mark as a hugely successful band with a #1-charting album - 2023s Blackout, From Ashes to New are set to their highly anticipated follow-up, Reflections.

Given the momentum from their previous releases, including strong-charting singles and a steadily growing fan base, Reflection is poised to attract both longtime fans and newcomers looking for powerful, emotionally charged rock with cross-genre appeal. Reflections CD has 12 tracks, jewel case packaging, and a booklet with lyrics and credits.
