“The Kodaly is a very precise and clear reading. The playing is very fine, and the very introspective 'Heiliger Dankgesang' emerges slowly and progresses subtly. ... The Naxos recording has a great transcription by Beethoven of his Piano Sonata No. 9, published in 1802, shortly after his first set of quartets. He disguises the piece's pianistic origins in string quartet clothing resembling the style of the Opus 18 set.”
