Ethel (Todd Reynolds and Mary Rowell, violins; Ralph Farris viola; Dorothy Lawson, cello) with Evan Ziporyn, bass clarinet. (Cantaloupe Records, CA21017)

"It is little wonder that Ethel, the hardest working band in chamber music, would release its first recording on Cantaloupe, the house label for New York's merry pranksters Bang on a Can. On this disc the band is in especially rare form: They shake, they sing, they rock, all with downtown panache, classically trained precision, and Dionysian abandon. This is a collection of Ethel's "greatest hits," music by some the band's favorite contemporary composers, including Evan Ziporyn, John King, Phil Kline, and Ethel's own fiddler Todd Reynolds, whose piece "Uh . . . It All Happened So Fast," is a charming, multimood extravaganza, playful like Milhaud, but hard-edged like Hendrix. Get this disc just to be able to say you knew them when."
