The Bridge Quartet give here, arguably, the finest account of Grieg's G Minor Quartet since the 1937 Budapest version and certainly the most idiomatic of all modern recordings. This is noble playing admirably recorded.

For over 20 years, the Bridge String Quartet of London
have built up an international reputation as ambassadors for English music.
They have performed in festivals in Europe such as the Fundacion Juan March,
Madrid and at the Fayence International Quartet Festival and in the USA they
premiered an early Delius quartet. Last season the Bridge Quartet took part
in the 1st London Festival of Bulgarian Culture and were invited by the
Kijani Trust to Kenya. Closer to home, they have ongoing links with the
English Music Festival and have been engaged to make recordings for the
festival’s own label.
The quartet’s numerous recordings have gained great
critical acclaim and received top ratings: “the music comes surging off the
page...this fine ensemble sounds utterly transported by these rarefied
sounds”
