recorded live at Holy Trinity Church, Dallas. Actually a
rather good example of the Gyros Quartet's performance
level, this recording is from the very first reading at a rehearsal.

Dallas
Gyros String Quartet
Vesselin Demirev, solo violin
Colin Howland, organ
Michelle Kaminski, trumpet *** February 1, 2003,
Vesselin Demirev, solo violin, recorded live with the Irving
Symphony Orchestra on the "Joachim" Stradivarius.
For a warm-up Vesselin participated in one of our wedding ceremonies
at Park Cities Presbyterian Church, then drove immediately to the
hall where he arrived during intermission with just enough time to
take the instrument out of the case. You have to love him for that.

Here you will find samples of
the Gyros String Quartet. It's important to mention that all of these
were recorded live at actual wedding ceremonies in the DFW area,
not recorded and doctored in the studio. We believe this will give you a
better, much more accurate idea as to what you will be getting.
