George Macfarren String Quartets on ISMLP

[albion]

The first two (of six) string quartets by George Macfarren (1813-1887) are now available to listen to or download as mp3 files on IMSLP:

http://imslp.org/wiki/String_Quartet_No.2,_Op.54_%28Macfarren,_Sir_George_Alexander%29

These are amateur performances but are generally quite assured and and well worth a listen for those interested in the byways of Victorian music.
