His enduring leftist sympathies pervade an enormous and varied literary output; he published over 100 books, including poems and classical translations, notably his Catullus 1929, political studies, historical novels with settings ranging from ancient Pompeii to 19th-century England, and biographies of Helen of Troy, Blake, Turner, and William Morris.
The son and, for a time, disciple of the influential artist and writer Norman Lindsay (1879–1969), he developed a more independent vision in response to Marxist and European influences in the 1930s.

 String quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string instruments—usually two violins, a viola and cello—or a piece written to be performed by such a group.
A slackening (but only slight) in the pace of quartet composition occurred in the 19th century; here, a curious phenomenon was seen in the composers who wrote only one quartet, perhaps to show that they could fully command this hallowed genre.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 23 string quartets: the six he dedicated to Haydn in particular (K. 387, 421, 428, 458, 464, 465, Opus 10) are generally considered to be the pinnacle of the classical quartet form.

A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string musical instruments or a piece written to be performed by such a group.
Although any combination of four string instruments may be called a "string quartet", in practice, the term almost always refers to a group consisting of two violins (the "first" and "second" violin), one viola and one cello.
Alexander Glazunov (1865-1936) - wrote seven string quartets, and numerous other compositions for string quartet (the Five Pieces of 1879-1881, the Five Novelettes Op.15, the Finale of the B-la-F Quartet and the first movement "Carol-singers" of the Name-day Quartet, the Suite Op.35, the Two Pieces of 1902, and the "Elegy for Belayev" Op.105).

 Classical quartets are vibrant, insightful and innovative
The Lindsays are renowned for their performances of Beethoven (their recordings of the late quartets have received particular kudos), so it was especially fortunate that they brought three Beethoven quartets to Boston.
The quartet got under way in an atmosphere of spaciousness, in which the music's complexities were explored with not only superb technical control, but a special warmth of ensemble.
The quartet ended on a note of tenderness, but also urgency, leaving what will be long-lasting memories of one of the most emotionally-powerful and musically-insightful recitals MIT has had for a long time.

 Classical CD Guide -- Top 10 Essential Haydn CDs to Start Your Classical Music Collection
These quartets represent the pinnacle of Haydn's chamber writing, and demonstrate why Haydn deserves to be the "Father of the String Quartet" just as much as he is "Father of the Symphony." One of the most exciting is the second quartet, nicknamed "Fifths" from the musical interval that makes up the first movement's theme.
The Lindsay Quartet are today's foremost Haydn interpreters, and their performances of these quartets demonstrate why this is so.
Mozart was so inspired by this set of quartets that he immediately set out to compose a set of quartets of his own, which he dedicated to Haydn.

But the highlight is String Quartet No. 3, in a live recording by the Lindsay Quartet, who - the composer claims - regard him as an "instrumental sadist".
The latter informs his String Quartet No 3; in contrast is the "hard and sparky" sonority of an oboe and piano duet, Firefinch, inspired by an African bird and brightly played by Jinny Shaw and Anne-Marie Hastings.
The music of the Third String Quartet has a good deal of invention and imagination, and is full of subtle, at times elusive shades, all wrought in beautifully inventive string textures.

Good, too, that the Lindsay Quartet, stalwarts of many a Tippett festival, has been on hand for an almost complete traversal of the string quartets — just six months before the ensemble is due to disband following nearly four decades together.
The performances of the string quartets were in accordance with the strengths and weaknesses of The Lindsays playing over the last few years.
If The Lindsays missed out on the last degree of rapture in the Andante, they got to the heart of the Lento's lyrical ecstasy as it crescendos over three intensifying phases, and found a harmonic focus in the finale that made it more than the provisional drawing together that it can sometimes seem.

 The Scotsman - S2 Thursday - Quartet don't quite deliver what you'd expect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
THE Lindsay Quartet have been leading lights in the chamber music world for over 40 years, and this concert for the New Town Concerts Society was part of a farewell tour that precedes their retirement in July.
There’s a huge gulf between the Quartet in C Major Op 20 No 2 written in 1771, where Haydn is still experimenting with the four instruments, and the Quartet in D major Op 76 No 5, where his mastery of the form is breathtaking in its complexity.
Unfortunately, there was also a gap between what one might expect from a quartet of this stature and what they delivered.

 Gramophone - Gramofile - The world's best classical music magazine
Always the Lindsay play with greater intensity, making more of dramatic climaxes and their disturbing aftermaths (as notably at bar 140 in the first movement and bar 203 in the last).
Like the Lindsay, so the Tokyo players complete their disc with one of the many teenage works written by Schubert to play with his family, the G minor Quartet of 1815, which even if objective craftsmanship rather than a personal testament, nevertheless remains a source of unexpected delight.
Though perhaps not emerging as close and full-bodied as the Lindsay, they enjoy a recording as vibrant as it is clear.'

 Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
In its opening movement the Kodály Quartet appropriately elicits an almost Haydnesque lightness and grace that the Lindsay Quartet (ASV) fails to capture and that comes off as too crystalline-delicate in the Tokyo Quartet's performance on RCA.
Only the Alban Berg Quartet's EMI reading finds greater dynamic contrast, but that's due more to the exceptionally transparent recording than the playing itself.
True, the opening isn't clothed with the kind of mystery we hear on the Vegh Quartet's Astrée recording, but then as the first Allegro shows, the Kodály Quartet has better discipline and ensemble, and you won't hear the occasionally rough playing that's such an endearing feature of the Vegh cycle.

 Hallé/Lindsay String Quartet @ Bridgewater Hall
It was a farewell to the Lindsay String Quartet, who have adorned Manchester's cultural life for so long.
They are about to begin their last cycle of Beethoven quartets at the Bridgewater Hall, and the richness of their sound, beginning Wagner's Siegfried Idyll (with soloists from the Hallé), made one long to hear them in that space.
And brilliantly calculated orchestral sonorities were a feature of John Casken's Rest-ringing, commissioned by the Hallé and played by the Lindsays with the orchestra.

The Lindsay Quartet readings of the complete Beethoven String Quartets must be regarded as among the most distinguished ever put on disk.
These quartets have been recorded by at least a dozen other aggregations with large claims to admiration, beginning with the Budapest String Quartet, which brought quartet-playing into the modern era with performances of a kind of brilliance unprecedented in the recording era.
The later quartets are less melodic but far more profound and take a lot more listening to.
