THE LONDON STRING QUARTET:
JOHN PESNINGTON (Violin); THOMAS PETRE (Violin); \VILLIAM PRlMROSE (Viola); C. WARwick EVANS (Violoncello)
THAT one good thing at least can come out J- of unmusical England has for some years been made abundantly clear to the rest of the world. London, which hears its own string quartet only on its brief home visits, has at least the consolation that it is upholding the prestige of English music all over the world as no other organization has done; its playing is on that high level which demands measuring against the very best string quartets of our own or any other time. When it was formed, in 1908, Albert Sammous was its first, leader, and held the post until solo work made him resign, in 1917. The personnel has changed once or twice since then, but Thomas Pet-re , the original second violin, is still in that place : except during his absence on war service, his membership of the quartet has been uninterrupted. The two lower voices, the viola and violoncello, could boast until quite lately that they had played continuously in the team from tho beginning, but Waldo Warner , the viola, who is distinguished also as a composer, has recently made way for William Primrose. Warwick Evans. the violoncellist, is thus the only original member who has'played in the quartet without a break. Jolm Pennington , the present leader, is a brilliant violinist with a gift for leading which is exceptional in so youthful an artist. The quartet plays all the classics and everything modern which is worth while : how often it has given series of recitals of all the Beethoven quartets, for instance, would not be easy to reckon, but a big share of the tennis enthusiasm has always been generously devoted to new and little-known works by our own composers.
