Beethoven String Quartet op 95 in f minor, ‘serioso’

The Elgin String Quartet was formed by members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Chamber music in its different ensemble variations has been a corner stone of the four musicians’ activities. They relish the musical and technical challenges that the genre of the string quartet demands in particular, as well as its communicative possibilities and the huge variety of the repertoire available. All four are members or associates of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
