Thank you for posting van Dieren's Sixth String Quartet. I couldn't respond thus in the correct place so I'm doing it here. I didn't see any performer credit and assume that it's the Edinburgh Quartet's BBC broadcast from the composer's centenary year. I do wish that someone would record all six!...

This is the correct place Mr. H! I'm afraid I know less than you do about the performers; the sound is taken from the you-tube item at youtu.be/LirzQPj8yg4and there is no clue there. It would be nice to do the first quartette in the same style, but I cannot find the score on-line. Do you by any chance know whether it is available? I have found the scores of numbers two and three, but no recordings of those.

This is the correct place Mr. H! Yes, I see that now! I'm afraid I know less than you do about the performers; the sound is taken from the you-tube item at youtu.be/LirzQPj8yg4and there is no clue there. This happens all too often on Youtube where people post performances without citing performer credits. It would be nice to do the first quartette in the same style, but I cannot find the score on-line. Do you by any chance know whether it is available? I have found the scores of numbers two and three, but no recordings of those. The first quartet is in many ways the most interesting and ambitious but I do not think that its score is available online. I did once see a Denis ApIvor handwritten realisation of it but have never even set eyes on the autograph ms. and, unlike some of the others, it's never been published to my knowledge. As far as I know, it has also yet to reach public performance, the only airing of it of which I'm aware being that by the Gabrieli Quartet which was also broadcast in the composer's centenary year, but I think that someone's put it up on Youtube somewhere already (I can't find the details right now and haven't time to look - sorry).

A most enjoyable broadcast. A little more accuracy with regard to rhythm and dynamics would have improved it.
A minor suggestion with the score, more so than when reading the written word, people tend to "look ahead" with music scores so that the "page turns" as it where should slightly preempt the music.

Thank you Mr. Porcus. As you rightly perceive, the transitions from one screen to the next are the trickiest aspect - some of them seem right, and some of them sometimes not, and it often depends upon which aspect of the music is occupying one's mind at the moment in question - that is to say, when one replays the passage the timings might seem different. So in future 1) I will be even more careful and 2) I will take into account what you say about the necessity of a slight anticipation in the display.
