About
The title speaks for itself: Breaking the Silence is exactly what the debut album of the Clarion Quartet aims to do, and it dedicates itself to the music of composers who were silenced, persecuted, or murdered by German Nazis. This is the fascinating music of an entire generation of composers that is only slowly finding the way back into the concert hall, music that should be heard. The four musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra display a distinctive sense of timing, precision, and partnership that informs their virtuosic quartet playing.
