CD REVIEWS:
Their playing is controlled but never academic – rather, it is lively, soulful, and carried by inner tension. They understand how to grasp the composers' intentions and transform them into music of great poetic radiance.
String Quartets is a work that shows how boundless and open the format of a string quartet can be conceived today – an album that touches, challenges, and delights. '
