The Primrose Piano Quartet Plays Hurlstone, Quilter, Dunhill, Bax
Editorial Reviews This unique disc offers chamber music by four important British composers of the earlier 20th century. Although Arnold Bax is fairly well known outside of Britain, the other three composers here will be new discoveries for most listeners. William Hurlstone died of asthma at age 30 and was nearly forgotten. Dunhill’s piano quartet contains one of the great viola solos in all chamber music. Independently wealthy, Roger Quilter was more famous for his fabulous parties than his fine chamber music!
Album Description
The Primrose Piano Quartet is named in honor of William Primrose (1904-1982), one of the finest violists of the 20th century, and his piano quartet, the Festival Quartet. Its members have shared the concert platform on many occasions at international festivals, recording sessions and London’s premier concert halls. They offer a range of attractively varied programs, including duo sonatas and string trios. They have been selected for the Making Music Concert Promoters’ Network Tours for 2005/2006.
