SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR: Five Fantasiestücke for String Quartet and Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 1

The New York Times summed up their artistry: "beautiful to watch, like a family in lively conversation at the dinner table: anticipating, interrupting, changing subjects." Pianist Stewart Goodyear is a perfect match for the Catalyst, "one of the best pianists of his generation" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
