The Virtuoso String Quartet was a British quartet, founded by the Gramophone Company (better known as HMV) in 1924,[1] being the first such quartet established specifically for recording.[2] In effect they displaced the Catterall Quartet from their position recording for HMV.[3]
Marjorie Hayward led them for the 15 years of their life. Raymond Jeremy and Cedric Sharpe previously performed in the Philharmonic Quartet.

Press notices
"From the London station we have had many good things during the past month, the pick being the Virtuoso Quartet in Mozart and Debussy…"[16]
"Good as these Budapest party records are , they are beaten all round by those of the Virtuoso Quartet in Debussy's G minor… For vividness and sonority this is surely among the finest achievements of the Company".[17]
"… distinguished themselves as virile performers of Beethoven… put up so excellent a show "[18]
