there's no doubting that it's the excitement of [Ibragimova's] msuic-making that stamps its personality on these performances. Not that her fellow musicians sit back, but her dazzling playing in the outer movements of Mozart's Dissonance Quartet makes them sound almost like violin concertos...But this is an impressive debut recording, and the light and shade of the playing fully justifies the name the group has chosen for itself.
