Süddeutsche Zeitung"One of the truly outstanding ensembles of our time"
Gramophone"They represent the best qualities of the Czech tradition – warmth, sonorousness, individuality, intensity; but what’s striking here is their fearless risk-taking, their fervency and the absolute confidence with which they propel you through these two masterpieces."
The Times"What really sets this quartet apart is the attitude embodied in its name: an unwavering integrity, a belief that everything it plays is a matter of life and death."
