Oxford Road String Quartet

Marquis

Just being nosey: Walking down Oxford Road today I heard a string quartet practising/playing Haydn (I think) in one front room. the amazing thing was that they sounded absolutely brilliant from where I was standing. Does anybody know who they are? Do we have classical celebs in the hood? Or is that just someone with a really refined hifi system?

i thought it was a CD, certainly not a regular occurrence at that house.

Marquis

Bon vivant burglars perhaps, was very nice though.

tosscat

the ladykillers?

Ali

It was certainly not a CD but more like a quartet of real live people

injoke

did you actually see people playing?

that would be a decent hint i reckon

Marquis

They had the curtains closed, but they really sounded like pros. All I could see was a tube of Yonex shuttlecocks. But then I didn't want to hang around outside the house for too long.

Marquis

Don't the Ardittis use Yonex?

injoke

could have been live i guess, it just sounded a bit too loud to me.

Ali

It was live.

More practice yesterday I belive !

injoke

just saying it doesn't make it so, how do you know it was live?

unaesthetic

someone had the radio on?

Ali

I asked them

Marquis

So - do you know if they do concerts somewhere? They sounded ready at least for the Wigmore Hall to me.
