The Bridge Quartet

The two quartets are superbly played by this eponymous group, who are right inside the music and present it with an almost improvisational spontaneity.

International Record Review, June 2001 “ Free Spirits” CD Delius Grieg Quartets

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


The Strad, “Free Spirits” CD Delius Grieg Chamber CD choice May 2001
[This] is music that above all needs to be 'sung' to be exulted in - and this is where the Bridge Quartet really comes into its own. The group affectionately cocoons this music, enabling its lyrical impulse to emerge with as about as much warmth as it can take.

Friday February 17th 2012, free lunchtime concert at 1pm
Holy Innocents Church,
Paddenswick Road, W6 0UB

This is an extra concert in addition to the original program

Lunchtime concert of Norman O'Neill chamber music. Norman O'Neill was a contemporary and friend of Delius and Elgar. He lived in Hammersmith! If you heard us perform his piano quintet at Dorchester Abbey last summer for the English Music Festival, then you will know there is some wonderful lyrical music waiting to be unearthed. We will be recording a CD of Norman ONeill's chamber music at Wyastone, Monmouth and this concert is a chance to hear it all. Free entry with a retiring collection.
