"The finest Brahms playing one could hope to hear" - "These four instruments are like a breath of fresh air on the chamber music scene.
“in Dvorak’s G major Quartet, Opus 106……It was a joy to witness the visual communication the quartet displayed with each other……if I had to single out one movement for praise, it would be the slow Adagio, in which the quartet’s glowing tone filled the entire gallery. The exciting finale was delivered with great panache. What a great start to the season.”
“These four musicians form a brilliant unit. They work together like a well-oiled machine, making music with a single, big beating heart.”
