the Terpsychordes are duly impressive, stripping away any excess vibrato. Particularly impressive is the organic way in which the music unfolds…this new version certainly has plenty to say

About
Continuing its exploration of the Romantic repertory on period instruments, the Quatuor Terpsycordes presents a blazing vision of two Schubert masterpieces: the sublime Quartettsatz and the Quartet in G major, his fifteenth and last work in the genre, a grandiose work of well-nigh symphonic proportions.

November 2015
If you want to hear these Schubert string quartets on period instruments, Quatuor Terpsycordes here offer you this surprisingly rare opportunity. This brings a rawness and febrile quality to the Quartettsatz … Played on period instruments the Terpsycordes’ account is harmonically more pungent and in line more modern, more twentieth century. Their entire performance is a revelation.
