The effect of this single-span work [Messages] is hypnotic, especially in the hands of Poland’s young Apollon Musagète Quartett, who convey all its originality…The dynamism of this performance is captured in superb sound.

February 2019

Overshadowed by his symphonies, Panufnik’s string quartet have begin to find favour – this disc by the Apollon Musagète Quartet being the fourth to present them as an integral though contrasted sequence…Interpretatively, the AMQ come between the warmer manner of the Brodsky and incisive attack of the Tippett, whose fearlessness has the edge overall.

Classical Music January 2019

The hauntingly beautiful Hommage à Chopin, originally written in 1949 for wordless soprano and piano, speaks of his attachment to his homeland via Mazovian folk music and a reference to Polish Lenten church music. The imagination over the span of these quartets is remarkable.
