The acclaimed contemporary string quartet offers a terrifying, masterful performance of Crumb's iconic 1970 composition, originally inspired by the Vietnam War. Employing electric amplification, shouted vocals, and water-tuned crystal glasses, the recording is a harrowing pinnacle of the modern classical repertoire.
