Description: This series continues with one of Hill's longest quartets - the 1920 Fifth, whose movements "Artistic", "Syncopated", "Romantic" and "Nautical" are loose characterizations of the French, Americans, Italians and British; he later orchestrated it as his Symphony No. 11 "The Four Nations". The other two date from 1934-35 and demonstrate again Hill's cosmopolitan late Romantic sound world with hints of Dvorák, Iberian color and the briefest whiff of French Impressionism in no. 7. Dominion Quartet.
