BRAND NEW Rubbra String Quartets 1-4 Dante Quartet 2 CDs

Description: This 2-CD Complete Set features the renowned Dante Quartet performing the first edition of Rubbra String Quarters 1-4. The classical genre quartet includes violin, viola, cello, and bassoon, and is recorded under the Dutton Epoch label. An excellent addition to any music collection and is perfect for fans of the quartet. Edmund Rubbra's String Quartets span his career from 1933 to 1977. Possibly the Second is the best known, but as a group they make an unmissable pendant to the symphonies. Possibly the most important string quartet cycle by any British composer, the Dutton Epoch recordings by the Dante Quartet enjoyed a very positive critical reception when they first appeared, and have now been re-packaged as a 2-CD box set.
