The Purcell Quartet

Although founded in 1983, The Purcell Quartet gave its debut recital after six months’ intensive preparation, on 14 February 1984 at St John’s, Smith Square in London, and has since then undergone just one change of membership, Catherine Weiss replacing Elizabeth Wallfisch as second violin. Through twenty-five years and nearly fifty recordings of a huge range of repertoire, the group has established itself as a leader in the area of baroque chamber music.
