Joshua Gordon, cello, has been cellist with the Lydian String Quartet since 2002. He has been a recent guest of the Boston Chamber Music Society, Boston Jewish Music Festival, Chameleon Arts Ensemble, Emmanuel Music, North Country Chamber Players, Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Smith College Players, Williams College Players, Worcester Chamber Music Society, and the Ying Quartet. His duo with Randall Hodgkinson has been described as “insightful and impassioned” by The New Yorker, and their New World recording, “Leo Ornstein: Complete Works for Cello and Piano,” was named one of the top 10 classical recordings of 2007 by the All Music Guide. With the Lydians he can be heard on Centaur recordings of quartets by John Harbison and Vincent Persichetti; their latest recording of Beethoven’s late quartets will be released in July.
