Mozarts Flute Quartet in D major Shostakovichs String Quartet No 8 Opus 110, Duration 37 minutes.

This High Definition television programme was recorded in the Signet Library, Edinburgh, one of the finest Georgian buildings in Scotland. Completed in 1882, it was built for the Writers to the Signet and for the Faculty of Advocates.

The BT Scottish Ensemble owes its long standing reputation to its original founder, musician and conductor Leonard Friedman. It has steadily built up an international reputation for both the quality of its playing and the breadth of its repertoire.

Today, its young and dynamic image is represented in this programme by the playing of is artistic director and violinist Clio Gould and its composer in residence, flutist Dave Heath. The Quartets rendition of Shostakovichs work, composed during a three day visit to Dresden in 1960, is inspiringly directed for television by James Hunter.
