The String Quartets is an album of classic Jethro Tull repertoire, imaginatively arranged by John O’Hara for the Carducci string quartet with the flute, guitar and vocals of songwriter and producer Ian Anderson.
Ian and John O’Hara – keyboard player with Tull and Ian Anderson – had discussed for some time the prospect of a dedicated string quartet album specially conceived and orchestrated to celebrate some of the best-known repertoire of Jethro Tull in a new and very different setting. They had first heard of the Carducci Quartet through violinist Matthew’s brother Chris, also a musician. After seeing the quartet in concert in London at LSO St Luke’s, Ian invited them to take part in the recording of this project.
Ian and John then pored over the entire Tull catalogue and decided on this selection of songs which includes two O’Hara-arranged Tull pieces already performed with quartets in various concerts over the years. With judicious additions of flute, acoustic guitar and mandolin along with a few vocal sections, this album offers Tull fans the opportunity to enjoy familiar melodies and songs within the styling and traditions of Classical Music.
