The quartet was named after the transcendentalist philosopher-poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and was among the first whose violinists shared leadership duties. Founder members Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer alternate as first and second violinists; they and long-serving violist Lawrence Dutton were joined in 2013 by Welsh cellist Paul Watkins when his predecessor, David Finckel, left to embark upon a solo career. The Emerson String Quartet has recorded the complete quartets of Beethoven, Brahms, Bartók, Webern, and Shostakovich and the major works of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Dvořák, winning a string of awards. The four players used overdubbing to mimic the eight musicians required for the Octet on the acclaimed 2005 set of the Mendelssohn quartets. In 2018 DG issued a 52-disc collection of the quartet’s complete recordings for the label, and in 2020 the group made its debut on Pentatone with a disc of the three quartets of Schumann. In 2021 the Emerson String Quartet announced that it would give its final concert in October 2023
