The Quatuor Danel is particularly eloquent [in the Tenth], delivering powerfully impassioned playing in the opening declamatory movement and the short third-movement Adagio while projecting a deep sense of unease in the eerie scherzo.

The sound is beautifully balanced, close without being overbearing, the playing a model for any aspiring quartet...These five pieces offer a fascinating, rarely viewed glimpse into [Weinberg's] early output and - in the extensively revised First Quartet - how he might have developed had the Second World War not forced him from his native Poland...Another excellent disc.
