Awards and reviews
March 2021
Haydn quartets interspersed with Scottish folk song arrangements – the idea sounds wildly incongruous, and yet how well it works in these fine performances…The three Op. 74 quartets…are wonderfully inventive and original, and the Maxwell Quartet plays them with infectious enthusiasm throughout…But the Maxwell players are alive to the music’s tender qualities, too…Altogether irresistible.
February 2021
As in their debut disc of Op 71, the Maxwell Quartet respond eagerly to the boldness and brilliance of these predominantly extrovert works...they always seem to be playing to an imaginary audience...As on their Op 71 recording, the Maxwell – Scottish to a man – interleave the three quartets with their own arrangements of Scottish reels, jigs and pipe marches
