Roth String Quartet - Haydn Op 20 #5, F minor, 4. Finale: Fuga a due Soggetti‬'1937 the renowned Roths joined the faculty of Westminster Choir College, Princeton University, New Jersey. However in 1939 the group was disbanded.
The Roth Quartet was founded by Feri Roth in Budapest in 1922. The group enjoyed a successful début in Paris in 1924, then set off on a tour of Europe and Africa, and re-organised into the line-up featured on this recording in 1928. All were Hungarians from Budapest. By 1937 they had given 750 concerts. A write-up in 1937 in the Gramophone stated they had been described as worthy successors to the Joachim and Flonzaley quartets.
