Henschel Quartet

“I still remember the first time I heard Beethoven’s op. 18 op. 6 in concert, and the biggest compliment I can pay to the Henschel Quartet that its performance took me back to that initial experience. […] These Bavarian Radio recordings are unobtrusively excellent and if this disc presages a Henschel Beethoven series, I look forward to it.” (The Strad)

Tokyo String Quartet

2 CDs for 1

“…this new Tokyo set just about pips all rivals to the post. The reason is primarily one of balance, not only within the group itself but also in terms of overall musical judgement - whether relating to tempo, dynamics or emphases, or simply the way the players combine a sense of classical style with an appreciation of Beethoven's startling originality.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008

Talich Quartet

"Their Beethoven cycle must be numbered among the finest currently available." Gramophone

“The gravity of approach is more justified in the last of this great early series of works, 'La Malinconia'. But the Talich approach has weathered less well than I'd have expected, and the impression is dour.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ***

“Continuing along the path set by its very good recording of Beethoven's Op. 18 Nos. 1 and 4, Quatuor Mosaïques offers even finer renditions of the last two in the set. Most immediately striking is the ensemble's richly sonorous, full-bodied sound….strongly engaging.” Classics Today
