    The original members of the Tokyo Quartet all attended the Toho Gakuen during the 1960s and, inspired by the Juilliard Quartet, went on to form Japan’s first permanent string quartet. In recent years the group has gained an international flair with the addition of cellist Clive Greensmith and first violinist Martin Beaver. The quartet’s musical personality, however, has remained remarkably consistent over the years, their interpretations distinguished by a determination to serve the music rather than to display virtuosity. The New York Times describes the quartet’s playing as “exemplary,” and hails the interplay amongst the musicians as a “passionate, richly toned discussion among intelligent, charismatic equals.”
