Sankt Annae Girls' Choir - Early String Quartets - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On this second disc of the Emperor Quartet's survey of Britten's music for string quartet, Alla Marcia appears as an interlude between the first and last of Britten's three published string quartets. The first disc in this series of three was released in 2010, and included a performance of the Second String Quartet described as 'stupendous' in Classic FM Magazine and 'magnificent' in Scherzo, while a Fono Forum reviewer likened it to 'an entire cosmos of colours and nuances.'
