The International Clarinet Association’s publication, The Clarinet, has a newly published review of the Fidelis String Quartet and Friends’s A Tribute to Danny Granados:
“A Tribute to Danny Granados – a new release by Delos, made possible in part from Houston Public Media and family and friends of Granados – highlights the versatility and capability of this fine musician. … The Fidelis Quartet is a tight ensemble that prioritizes a sound focusing less on the soprano-voiced violins and more a cohesive collection of lower-voiced timbres. Granados’s playing and tone melds beautifully within the tapestry of the ensemble. His technical execution is smooth and refined, incorporating a lovely color palette. The intense moments are outstanding, with the ensemble maintaining a lush sound throughout. This is one of the finer recordings of the Brahms Quintet available today. … This album sounds great on loud speakers as well as ear buds. It is a terrific sonic experience. As a resident of the state of Alabama, I am pleased to be given the opportunity to review this album from one of the finest musicians to pass through our state in many years. This album is a fitting tribute to a sensitive, refined musician.”
—Osiris Molina, The Clarinet
