An affectionate tribute to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
In 1948 three Austrian refugees and an Englishman formed a partnership which was to transform the musical public's attitude to chamber music.
Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel, Peter Schidlof and Martin Lovett have four very different personalities, but possess in common superb musicianship and a delicious sense of humour.
They are seen not only playing the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and others, but in rehearsal with Sir Michael Tippett, recording their latest disc of Haydn quartets, and in relaxed domesticity with their families.
