Since forming in 1972, the Brodsky Quartet recorded generously for Teldec (now on Warner Classics) as well as producing crosssover discs of appeal and style before moving on to record for other labels. They are currently with esteemed British label Chandos, and this release is timely as it is 100 years since the first public performance of both Elgar’s String Quartet and the Piano Quintet. The live premiere was given at the Wigmore Hall.
