May 2009
In these new accounts the tempos are faster than usual. This is not to say they are fleet; rather, they are aptly sustained yet refreshingly fluent while offering as much contrast as possible from one sonata to the next without violating the music’s devotional intent.

The performance by the Leipzig Quartet is outstanding in every way, catching the changes of character and mood in each section with much feeling, and the recording in surround sound is very real and present.
