The Kreutzer Quartet has been aptly described as one of the most talented and eclectic string quartets of its time. Indeed, but the word eclectic for once is truly genuine: the group plays a colourful mixture of repertory, from standards by Haydn, Beethoven, Ravel, Sibelius, and more to contemporary works by Finnissy, Gloria Coates, David Gorton, Josep Soler, Haflidi Hallgrímsson, Judith Weir, and many others. That said, its recorded repertory is decidedly slanted toward the modern: the Kreutzer players have recorded the entire outputs of Tippett, Reicha, David Matthews, Roberto Gerhard, Thomas Simaku, Jeremy Dale Roberts, Edward Cowie and others. Moreover, there have been over 200 quartet works dedicated to the group, many of which it has premiered. The Kreutzers have appeared on television and radio across Europe and have recorded for several labels, including Metier, Naxos, Toccata, Chandos, and Carlton. The Kreutzer Quartet was formed in 1988 and the group quickly became recognised as one of the foremost young string quartets in the U.K. Their current members are: Peter Sheppard Skaerved & Mihailo Trandafilovksi (violins), Clifton Harrison (viola), and Neil Heyde (cello). Former members: Morgan Goff (viola), Gordon MacKay (violin) and Bridget Carey (viola).
