Auryn Quartet - The Auryn Series, Vol. 9 (2020)

"Far too good to listen to on the side: this is string quartet art at the very highest level. One has never heard these French jewels played out in a more sensual and differentiated way (Stuttgarter Zeitung) "The Auryn Quartet plays these works so sovereign and seemingly effortlessly that they sound really casual in places. But don't think that the artists are complacent. Rather, the recordings show a kind of aristocratic elegance that suits these works particularly well. (...) Another winner from this small but almost without exception fine label."

"Far too good just to have as background music: this is utterly superb string quartet art. You have surely not heard these French treasures played with more sensitivity or clarity." (Stuttgarter Zeitung) "The Auryn Quartet plays these works with such sovereign ease that in places they sound positively casual. But don't let this fact give any impression of complacency on the part of the players - rather the performances reveal a certain aristocratic elegance that serves these works particularly well. Another winner from this small but almost invariably excellent label.

"The Auryn Quartet meets with dynamics, power and careful middle voice work the tone of voice between objectification and per- ...personal feeling. Even her Debussy is not a pseudo- impressionistic flickering, but breathes rich con- and sovereign precision. And Ravel's quartet glistens with rhythms and colours that are just in the nothing exaggerated dosage of the Auryns excellent effect ...unfold."
