More information: A massive treat for Jethro Tull fans and classical aficionados alike: Jethro Tull The String Quartets is an album of classic Jethro Tull repertoire, imaginatively arranged by John O'Hara for Classical string quartet with the flute, guitar and vocals of songwriter and producer IAN ANDERSON.
For some time, Ian (Jethro Tull frontman and virtuoso flautist) and John O'Hara (keyboard player with Tull and Anderson) had discussed the prospect of a specially conceived album of classic Jethro Tull repertoire orchestrated for a string quartet. Ian & John first saw the Carducci Quartet at the London Symphony Orchestra's LSO St Luke's and, mesmerised by the group's symbiotic relationship which results in their playing as one single musical organism, Ian invited them to take part in the recording.
