This recording features the three mature works that Somers wrote for the string quartet medium, and includes the first commercial recording of the Movement for String Quartet.

“This is powerful music and no string quartet collection should be without it.”

– Richard Todd, Opus Pocus

“[Movement for String Quartet] ia about as white-hot, volcanic, and uncompromising as the string quartet can be made to sound…Performances by the Accordes Quartet are excellent, as is the recorded sound.”

– Mark L. Lehman, American Record Guide
