Search - The Hampton String Quartet :: Take No Prisoners

"Take No Prisoners" is HSQ's future, featuring 12 new recordings of driving rock - from Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" to the Stones "Paint It Black" to the Cranberries "Zombie," the original rock string quartet pulls no punches here. On this CD, HSQ has risen to the pinnacle of its "rock-dom." It is aggressive, pounding, virtuosic, yet not without its palate cleansing moments of tenderness. HSQ shows its range here - broad and horizontal through a myriad of epxressions to flagrant and vertical through a temporal range of styles. If this is for you, listen to it loud or don't bother. Remember, you can always get that other string quartet off the shelf and listen to some Haydn (not a disparaging comment -he's HSQ's mentor)
