Biography
Guarneri Quartet was an American string quartet established in 1964 at the Marlboro Music School and Festival. They achieved professional recognition for a musical career characterized by a rich tone and dramatic interpretations of quartet literature and for their longevity with minimal personnel changes. The quartet was founded by violinist Arnold Steinhardt, violinist John Dalley, violist Michael Tree, and cellist David Soyer. They achieved professional recognition for a career that began after they debuted on July 20, 1964, in Nantucket. In the fall of 1964, they began a residency at Harpur College in Binghamton where they taught and performed 15 concerts annually. Their recording career began after they made their New York City debut in February 1965 and secured a recording contract with the label RCA Victor. Their discography included recording over 50 studio recordings by 1998 including works by the composer Ludwig van Beethoven and the composer Béla Bartók. They achieved professional recognition for performing as a quartet for 45 years with only one personnel change when Soyer retired in 2001 and was replaced by the cellist Peter Wiley. The ensemble became inactive in 2009.
