I’m pleased to be able to announce the release, as a download CD, of “What Fools These Mortals Be” – works by composer David Stoll.

David writes “This new release combines five of the pieces from ‘The Shakespeare Suite’ with related works, including the first release of the third String Quartet, ‘Fools By Heavenly Compulsion’, based on King Lear. All this music explores the human tendency to deceive ourselves, particularly in matters of love, a major theme in Shakespeare. As the meddler Puck says, watching unnoticed: “Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

The Bingham Quartet recorded David’s third quartet for this download, and we’ve also premiered his fourth quartet.
