Beethoven: String Quartet No. 2 in G major, Op. 18 No. 2

“…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

“...like brushing the cobwebs from an old master...In short, the Lindsays Beethoven has come alive” The Independent

"bright, intelligent playing and a vivid interpretive stance...After hearing these lively and in some respects provocative performances it's easy to understand why the American Miro Quartet have been winning so many critical plaudits...The Miro's approach to these epoch-making masterpieces is consistently animated and imaginative." The Gramophone

“The Endellion is arguably the finest quartet in Britain, playing with poise, true intonation, excellent balance and a beautiful tone. In music of the Viennese Classical composers it has few challengers but it has won praise in a wide repertory, its Beethoven and Bartók cycles being especially admired.” (New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians - 2000)
