Album information
AN EXPLORATION OF WHAT HOME REALLY MEANS
The Miró Quartet presents Home, a new album that explores the many concepts of what the term “home” can mean. Its complexity is woven in a variety of ways into the music: the pieces, all composed by Americans past and present, invite you to feel, reflect, and engage in Miró’s world.
In this regard, the album also represents the United States, Miró’s artistic home, in many ways. The program presents two new commissions by Kevin Puts and Caroline Shaw, as well as known and lesser known works by George Walker and Samuel Barber.
This is the Miró Quartet’s second album on Pentatone, following the recording of Beethoven’s Complete String Quartets.
Downloaded product contains booklet.
