The elder statesman in Scotland's music scene, Robert Crawford has throughout his life lavished intense care over every one of his compositions. The Edinburgh Quartet and pianist Nicholas Ashton are intimately acquainted with Crawford's music and mirror the composer's attention to detail in a long overdue survey of this lovingly-crafted music.
