Titanium Musicians Perform On Classic FM's Album Of The Week

We are proud to announce that Classic FM’s Album Of The Week features our very own Titanium musicians and is now available to purchase.

Classic FM Album Of The Week

‘Seasons’ presents Vivaldi’s much loved Four Seasons and is paired with new composition by Oliver Davis. The recording is performed by Trafalgar Sinfonia and is conducted by Ivor Setterfield.

“The two works sit comfortably alongside each other; Davis's music has a pulsating rhythmic energy not a million miles away from Vivaldi's nor Michael Nyman's minimalist Baroque scores for such Peter Greenaway films as The Draughtsman's Contract.”

What Is A String Quartet?

graphic image of string quartet

A string quartet is an ensemble of four string instruments: two violins, one viola and one cello. Considered one of the most prominent chamber ensembles in classical music, the string quartet was made popular by Austrian composer, Joseph Haydn who took to composing four part string pieces in the 1750s. The genre was firmly established as Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven followed suit with string quartet composition.

A typical classical string quartet takes shape in four movements, a set formula that moves through specific keys and tempos for a complete musical journey. Composers increasingly moved away from the structure in the twentieth century, leaving this format a particular to classical music. As well as music specifically written for four string instruments, skilled arrangers can rewrite any piece of music to be performed by a string quartet.

Yet Another 5-star Review

Yet another glowing 5-star review for Titanium!

Our latest wedding client was Grant and Ellie. See their review below:

“We hired Titanium to play at our wedding ceremony in September and I have to say that they were absolutely fantastic. They played beautifully and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a string quartet for their event, whatever it may be. I feel I must point out that when our vicar thanked them near the end, all of our guests applauded them, something I have never seen at a wedding! Thank you Titanium for making our day that extra bit special.”

The Quartet received excellent feedback from those in attendance and a glowing written review from event’s organiser, Richard Folkes:

Despite a late booking the Titanium String Quartet and their agents were a delight to work with and they arrived in good time before the event to discuss details and our requirements. They then delivered a very high quality performance with a varied programme of music that exactly suited the occasion. We received many favourable comments from our guests confirming that they were both much appreciated and that they contributed much to the overall success of the evening. I would strongly recommend the Titanium Quartet to anyone planning to hold a reception such as ours.
