Awards and reviews

Jan/Feb 2021

Beethoven would find it hard to believe that his quartets could be played with such perfection of execution, such beauty of tone, such nuance of expression, and such keen understanding of his music’s meaning and intent. Seldom heard details emerge from these performances in ways that will light up your face with an “ah ha” surprise.
