Awards and reviews

March/April 2022

These are rhythmically incisive, tonally alluring performances. Tempos are judicious, balances are ideal, and intonation is pure. Wilson’s cello underpinning is solid, and Yarbrough’s playing is especially attractive in the third movements of Quartets No. 1 and of No. 3, in which only the viola is not muted.
