May 2011

the skill with which Apostel handles his freely atonal idiom and the virtuosity of his writing for the medium commands admiration...This music requires sensitivity as well as commitment, and there is no doubting the Doelen Quartet's ability to tease out the subtlest nuance alongside the keenest emotion.
