CATTERALL QUARTET

 

 

 

 

In 1910 Arthur Catterall founded and led a string quartet under his own name as the Catterall Quartet. In this John S. Bridge played 2nd violin, Frank S. Park (viola) and Johan C. Hock (cello). Hans Keller described their work as ‘imaginative’. From 1926 to 1931 Laurance Turner was second violin in the quartet. The quartet made recordings for His Master’s Voice in the early 1920s, including Beethoven’s op 18 nos 1 (1922–1923) and 2 (1923–1924), Arensky 2nd Quartet op 35a, and the Brahms Quartet no 1 (June 1923). They also recorded Beethoven op 130 at full length by the acoustic process, but this remained unissued.
