Since their founding in 2012, the vision string quartet has stood out for its genre-defying approach and fearless flexibility — performing classical repertoire from memory, composing its own works, and blurring boundaries between classical, rock, jazz, and minimalism.
In the Fields is the young quartet’s bold return — their ACT debut and first recording in five years. It’s a single, choreographed journey that fuses the spirit of folk, the pulse of dance, and the depth of classical tradition into one seamless arc.
Inspired by Béla Bartók’s Fourth String Quartet and its dramatic five-movement form, the album reimagines the string quartet as a living, breathing band — one that thrives on improvisation, rhythm, and fearless experimentation. Movements from Bartók are interwoven with music by Ravel and Dvořák, original works by the quartet’s own Florian Willeitner and their guest collaborators, and arrangements of traditional folk tunes.
Joined by pianist Joel Lyssarides, guitarist Mahan Mirarab, and drummer Bernhard Schimpelsberger, the ensemble expands the sonic possibilities of the string quartet, exploring new tonal worlds where classical mastery meets jazz, folk, and global influences.
With In the Fields, the quartet reaffirms its mission: to stay true to what it loves while venturing into the unknown. It’s an album that bridges past and future — timeless yet full of fresh energy — and a declaration that the string quartet still has endless horizons. The visions invite listeners to press play, lean in, and be carried across fields of sound, memory, invention, and tradition.
