The Canadian St Lawrence Quartet perform John Adams's First Quartet, which the composer wrote for them after hearing them perform another of his works. They have since become his favoured string quartet and enjoy a close relationship with the composer. The quartet also perform a short work based on a Biblical text by the Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov and finish their Edinburgh International Festival recital with the first of two masterworks for string quartet by Saint-Sa毛ns which deserves to be better known.
