   The Ravel second movedment is, to me, the most distinctive movement of the Impressionist string quartet repertoire.  Always a treat.  A beautiful but restrained performance, here, I think. It's interesting to hear this from Elgar.  I'm accustomed to his full orchestra works and the Fine Cello Concerto, which made a huge impression on me when Zora Nelsova played it with the Baltimore Symphony and Sergio Commissiona, I guess it was in the seventies. 

   Sorry to let it go at that now.  I have to spend some time with my family now.  We'll listen and I'll try to get back to this discussion maybe tomorrow.

   i LOVE the Elgar sq. it was actually composed at the same time as the cello concerto. that is, when he locked himself away in a cottage in the english contryside. he also wrote a piano quintet at that time which is also worth a listen.

   The Elgar is growing on me pretty well.  Back in the vinyl days, when I was single and had time to listen to serious music a lot, I had a few quartets by British composers that I very much enjoyed.  I can't dig them up right now, though.  I think one was by Walton.  I think the other might have been by a female composer.  The Octet is a first class treat. 

   I noticed the good numbers, too.  Keep it up!
