Guarneri Quartet

The Guarneri Quartet was one of the most celebrated string quartets of the 20th century, known for its warmth, precision, and deep interpretive insight. Founded in 1964 at the Marlboro Music Festival, the ensemble consisted of Arnold Steinhardt (first violin), John Dalley (second violin), Michael Tree (viola), and David Soyer (cello), with Peter Wiley later replacing Soyer. Over their remarkable four-decade career, the Guarneri Quartet recorded extensively, performing works from the standard repertoire as well as contemporary pieces. Beloved for their seamless communication and expressive depth, they maintained an active touring schedule until disbanding in 2009. Their legacy lives on in their recordings, which continue to inspire chamber music lovers worldwide.
