Quartet San Francisco’s Eclecticism Embraces The Spirit of Our Time

A QSF Journey is Quartet San Francisco’s first release at NativeDSD Music on the Reference Recordings label. On this new release they invite you to join in their journey into the chamber music of the 21st century. The twelve tracks on the album include nine written or arranged by QSF Violinist and Founder Jeremy Cohen. Six are world premieres, and another three are world premieres in string quartet form!

These outstanding performances have been captured in natural, uncompromising audiophile sound by Reference Recordings’ own award-winning engineering team: Keith O. Johnson and Sean Royce Martin. A QSF Journey was recorded May 2018 at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California.

Positive Feedback

In this release we have a very lovely and entertaining recital by the Quartet San Francisco recorded by “Prof” Keith Johnson… The music selected by QSF encompasses a range of styles reflecting their love for the string quartet in all it’s many variations. Beginning with Jeremy Cohen’s Tango Eight, then Helmut Lispsky’s Fiesta!, and continuing with an arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhaspsody in Bluegrass, this is a most enjoyable romp. The music is light, tight and fun…

Did I say this album was fun!? Yes, it is. Fun, entertaining, occasionally impish, and nicely diverse—just an overall good time.

Plus, it is beautifully recorded. One of “Prof” Johnson’s best efforts, in my opinion. The 24/176.4kHz digital resolution is clean, open, extended and very dynamic. This is the sound of a string quartet captured delightfully well.
