The reviewer of the opus 51 Quartets in Gramophone in September 1990 commented: “… in the tonal mellowness and bloom of the recording itself, not to mention their own intuitively musical phrasing, their intimate interplay and subtleties of balance, this disc somehow manages to bring home Brahms’s true richness as a quartet composer …”.
