Reviews
Gramophone
“It will be difficult to beat, with first-class playing and admirable recording, and at mid-price the short playing time should not be an issue. Very strongly recommended.
” —Arnold Whittal
Classic CD
“Metier are again to be commended for their exploration of neglected repertoire… Powerful performances of astonishingly neglected quartets. Performance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sound ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
” —Andy Hamilton
