“This is quite glorious … one senses right from the opening of Bruckner’s Quintet—surely one of the finest quintets ever written, for any combination— an intensity that matches its ambitious structure … it’s obvious from the first bars of the achingly beautiful Prelude … that this is going to be an
exceptional performance” CD Review
“Easily takes first place within the exiguous competition” Fanfare
“Strongly recommended” Hi-Fi News
“The substitute intermezzo (with the same trio) is appended here, but the original second movement is, of course, played in this superb account. As a preamble of a stylistically opposite kind — a Bruckner antidote — the ensemble offers the suavely concise string-sextet prelude to Strauss’s opera Capriccio.” Sunday Times, 15th May 2011 ***
