1 LESLEY DUDLEY (Soprano)
THE MARIE WILSON STRING QUARTET :
MARIE WILSON (1st Violin), GWENDOLEN HIGHAM (2nd Violin), ANNE WOLFE (Viola),
PHYLLIS HASLUCK (Violoncello)
HERE is a work full of tunes and richness, cheerful and simple to grasp. In the Slow Movement we find clean emotion and attractive efflorescence of delicate ornamentation. The Third and final Movement (a Rondo) prances and swings along in great feather. Note the curious glassy sounds produced when (after the music has gone into six-eight time-two beats to the bar, each beat divided into three), the strings play very close to the bridge—' sul ponticallo,' as it is called. The Quartet is dedicated to Elgar.
