The Classical Highlights series presents the best-known and most popular performance pieces of the classical repertoire in arrangements for various instruments and now for string quartet. Apart from 'classic' string quartet arrangements like Pachelbel's Canon, J.S. Bach's Air, Mozart's Ave Verum, or Faure's Apres un reve, there are also some surprises, such as Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tarrega or Debussy's Golliwoggs Cakewalk.
