The Delme String Quartet – 40th Anniversary Issue
Galina Solodchin, John Trusler – violins
John Underwood – viola
Jonathan Williams – cello
We were able to celebrate four decades of the Delme Quartet, without once having to make allowance for the passing of time… I was left with the memory of sterling string tone and the feeling that everything they played had a point of view… here’s to the next 40 years. The Strad, 40th Anniversary Recital, Wigmore Hall, June 2002
The D minor is played here by the Delme with such love and finesse.. whilst the A flat – Dvorak summing up a lifetime’s devotion to chamber music – is deep and unalloyed pleasure. David Cairns – The Sunday Times, 25th August 2002
