About
Having won many competitions (in 2009 the quartet not only won First Prize in the Eleventh London International String Quartet Competition, but its performance was so convincing that it was awarded four additional prizes; The 20th Century Prize, the Beethoven Prize, the Sidney Griller Award and the Menton Festival Prize), C-Avi is delighted to release this disc of Haydn and Brahms String Quartets. Although this is obviously well-recorded repertoire, their performance is absolutely exhilirating and well worth listening to!

May 2013
the players could perhaps have made more of the music's drama. In all other respects, however, this is a fine performance, with an exhilarating account of the scurrying moto perpetuo finale...the Brahms impresses by its warmth and Romantic ardour, and the quality of the recording does the playing full justice.
March 2013
the Danish String Quartet...still have the puppyish energy they had 11 years ago, but now that enthusiasm has the lustre of maturity that was missing in their earliest recordings...you really are compelled to listen with keener ears, which is ultimately what this work really needs.
[the Danish Quartet's] performances are exemplary in matters of intonation, balance and interplay and the recording is suitably opulent
and reverberant.
