“The Cypress String Quartet’s performance on Wednesday at the German Embassy was an attractive combination of structured Apollonian restraint and unleashed Dionysian exuberance. This exciting San Francisco-based ensemble seems to understand that it is the constant back-and-forth between such opposites that lends music its energy.”
