Haydn's Op. 77 No. 1 in its entirety show[s] that these young musicians are a budding talent. Accordingly it's most likely that this disc, recorded in 2001, is not at all representative of their playing today.

18th July 2010

This excellent Polish quartet are fully equal to their varied technical and stylistic demands...The clarity and vivid detail of the playing is not in doubt...the slow movements tend to be the most satisfying, not least Haydn’s adagio, where the harmonic invention of the composer’s old age is gloriously in evidence.
