Stanford's String Quartets

[EdgeleyRob]

Many on here will be familiar with the first two on Hyperion,a wonderful disc,and wondering if the other six would ever be recorded.
Wonder no longer,a complete set is on the way.

The slow movement of the Eighth sounded pretty good on Record Review this morning.

thanks for the heads up, ER.
those hoping to find this disc under the Xmas tree can get a sneak preview in the Naxos Library.

Amazing that so many of these have been previously unrecorded.

Wonderful stuff.
