This is presumably the recording by the Lafayette String Quartet? Made under Murray's supervision. There are further volumes - I'm pretty sure there's a quintet with double bass (Gary Karr). Unfortunately I just checked out te UVic web site (the LSQ are artists-in-residence) and the link to their recordings page is broken. However, I shall doubtless be seeing one or more of them "real soon now" so I'll ask for you. >To which I would add Oscar Peterson, not just a great jazz pianist, but a >great pianist.
