This is a guitar quartet from the UK. I originally became aware of them through an album called "The Spirit of Brazil."
What I find most interesting about this performance, though, is that the piece was originally composed by the Scottish harpist, Catriona McKay. This quartet took a song, "The Swan Lk 243," and transposed it from the harp to a score for four guitars and slowed the tempo slightly. Having listened to both versions, I actually prefer this version to the original.
Having said that, sometime this weekend we'll see something from Catriona McKay so that you can get some sense of her. But for now, "The Swan Lk 243" by the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet.
