“Like the augmented Alban Berg Quartet in their EMI recording of Schubert's Quintet, the Artemis and Truls Mørk keep romantic expressiveness, dramatic urgency and a classical sense of architecture in fine equilibrium.” The Telegraph, 12th April 2008
“The Artemis Quartet combines fullness, quality and great transparency of sound and well-moulded suppleness of line with an overwhelming musical eloquence ... With Truls Mørk as second cellist the ensemble achieved an unprecedented inner breadth and a dark-hued and subtly shaded fullness of sound.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“[Artemis Quartet and Morks'] playing is energetically graceful and blessed with a spectacular dynamic range (very helpful in the long paragraphs of the C major Quintet, D 956). Nothing is more feverish than the opening Quartettsatz; and nothing sounds more beautiful than the Quintet’s adagio. A starry extra cellist, Mork plays very much as one of the team.” The Times, 11th April 2008 ****
“…though Truls Mørk, the extra cellist, does his best to contribute some bite. My impression is that the players are too seduced by the surface glories of the music to see what lies underneath.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 **
