Jethro Tull: The String Quartets Die Version auf Vinyl 2LP in Standard- Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag BMG In Zusammenarbeit mit Calliandra Records am 24. März 2017.

Jethro Tull in classic guise Always something new from Ian Anderson, the master of Jethro Tull. In 2017, the progressive rock pioneer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist will present a new album "The String Quartets" together with the British-Irish string quartet Carducci. The ensemble consists of Matthew Denton and Michelle Fleming (violin), Eoin Schmidt-Martin (viola) and Emma Denton (cello). Together with Anderson, who plays flute on the album and takes on some vocal parts here and there, they have given the twelve Jethro Tull titles a new, neo-classical look with "The String Quartets". It includes classic tracks like "Locomotive Breath", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Living In The Past" and "Aqualung". However, all of the tracks have been given new or altered titles to better distinguish them from the originals. The new album was recorded in the crypt of Worcester Cathedral in Worcester, UK and at St Kenelm's Church in Sapperton, Gloucestershire, UK. Jethro Tull keyboardist John O'Hara was responsible for arranging and orchestrating the songs on The String Quartets album. Although "The String Quartets" stays true to Ian Anderson's compositions, it looks at them from a completely new angle. The result is an album for classical music lovers and Jethro Tull fans alike.
