Ran's third string quartet was written for the Pacifica Quartet who, since its Tokyo premiere, have featured the work over numerous seasons across the U.S. and abroad. Their blog page dedicated to the work also features the composer's notes, for more indepth insight. "...impassioned solos emerge from ominous quiet, and high arpeggios in the violins quiver alongside the earthy cello. Ms. Ran skillfully deploys these extremes of color, volume and pitch, yet the overall somewhat chilly impression is one of poise." -- Zachary Woolfe, The New York Times
