Quartets 1-3 (1990)

"Tippett coached the Lindsay Quartet for these recordings of his first three quartets, and the other two were written for them. In a note written for their twenty-fifth anniversary in 1992 he said that in these recordings they were concerned to establish good precedents in matters of style, so that succeeding generations of interpreters start at an advantage. In fact one of the most enjoyable things about these readings is that they are so very characteristic of the Lindsay Quartet."
