Quartet Classics --- 2006
QUARTET CLASSICS is the new CD from RTÉ lyric fm featuring the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet, widely regarded as one of Europe's finest and most successful string quartets. Among the classics are Tchaikovsky's timeless Andante Cantabile and Barber's poignant Adagio as it was originally written for string quartet. There are waltzes from Dvorak and highlights from quartets by Haydn, Mozart and Mendelssohn. Twentieth century composers are represented by jaunty works from Shostakovich and Frank Bridge and a lullaby by Gershwin.
