1983 studio album by , Chick Corea and Gary Burton
Lyric Suite for Sextet is an album by pianist Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton with a string quartet recorded in 1982 and released on the ECM label.[ 2] The album is the third studio recording by the duo following Crystal Silence (1972) and Duet (1978).
Reception
The AllMusic review by Dave Connolly awarded the album 2½ stars, stating: "If you enjoy jazz/classical hybrids, which are by their nature intellectual pursuits, than this music should pique your interest. However, better to think of this as a duet with some string support than a sextet of equal partners."[ 3]
