Vinyl LP pressing. This album recently won a Grammy Award and was one of 2019's most critically-acclaimed releases. Orange, which features six of Pulitzer-Prize winning composer Ca roline Shaw's pieces for string quartet, is the first full-length album to exclusively feature works by Shaw. Shaw describes the world she built for Orange as a garden that she and Attacca Quartet are tending. She used the group's centuries-old combination of two violins (Amy Schroeder and Keiko Tokunaga), viola (Nathan Schram), and cello (Andrew Yee) to create a rich environment where traces of what has grown there before-left by Haydn, Mozart, Ravel, Bartok, Bach, Monteverdi, and Josquin-provide nourishment for new life.
