The Edinburgh Quartet is Scotland's premier string quartet.
Its repertoire is firmly rooted in the great classical European
tradition of the last three centuries, though as Frontiers and
Bridges ably demonstrates, it is not afraid to tackle challenging
new works by living composers. After its formation in 1959,
the Quartet quickly became established as one of Britain's
foremost ensembles, with frequent foreign tours supported
by recordings on the Waverley label. Having worked closely
with Michael Tippett, the Edinburgh Quartet's recording of his
Quartet No. 1 was selected by the composer for re-release
shortly before is death in 1998.
