His intonation is superb, and he knows how to pick up a melody and set it free to soar… Gordon adds an element of drama and risk to the mix.”           Richard Dyer, The Boston Globe                                                           ______________________________________________________________________________ Joshua Gordon Discography John Harbison: String Quartets 3 and 4 Lydian String Quartet (Centaur, 2009)                                      "Spellbound!"
