Beautiful! I was strongly reminded of the string quartets of Debussy and Ravel.

Same, yet with a slightly 'English' flavour! And like the others, I wish that more quartets had been written 😭

Its Delius through and through. Mature style. Its distinct though from Ravel or Debussy. This is such a beautiful quartet. I never knew if it. Splendid! I love it! Very lush. Thick texture. Surprised its never on quartet concerts but always Ravel and Debussy, Bartok ,Shostakovich.
