“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
“Strongly recommended” Hi-Fi News
“Easily takes first place within the exiguous competition” Fanfare
“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 ***
