Waltz from Three Divertmenti
Friendships over many years preceded the formation of the
Rasumovsky Quartet in 1984. Shared membership of such ensembles as the Music
Group of London and the Zorian, Amici and English String Quartets has given
the Quartet an unusual depth of experience. Audiences in Britain and abroad
have warmed to the variety of programme, mature interpretation and
enthusiasm which characterise the Quartet’s music making. The Quartet drives
its name from Count Rasumovsky, the Imperial
Russian Ambassador in Vienna for 30 years - now remembered
primarily as the dedicatee of Beethoven’s superb set of Quartets, Op.59.
“The Rasumovsky Quartet is a coming together of four
musicians of vast experience and talent, they produce a quality of sound
which is rich and romantic, avoiding any edgy, mechanical brilliance”
