"Four Stars ... another fine rendition among a plethora of available realizations ... besides the obviously warm ambiance resonating with these players, the nice balance between salon intimacy and the often grand sweep of the music has been carefully maintained, doubtless attributable to engineer Mark Willsher ... the Cypress ensemble provides any number of delights in their transparent textures, all the while basking in Schubert’s often startling choice of modulations, especially his wonted love of the submediant interval ..."

The Cypress String Quartet teamed up with good friend and renowned cellist Gary Hoffman in January 2013 to record Schubert's String Quintet at Skywalker Sound, produced by first violinist Cecily Ward. The quintet is one of the most widely loved and often recorded chamber works, completed weeks before Schubert's death. The haunting beauty and mature musical architecture of the piece reveal a composer at the height of his artistic prowess.
