Lyric Suite for Sextet is an album by piano–vibraphone duo Chick Corea and Gary Burton recorded in September 1982 and released on ECM a year later—the duo's third studio recording, following Crystal Silence (1972) and Duet (1978).[2] The sextet features the pair accompanied by a string quartet comprising violinists Ik-Hwan Bae and Carol Shrive, violist Karen Dreyfus, and cellist Fred Sherry.

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]
