The current line up…[brings] rigour and technical brilliance to these arresting and sharply contoured accounts … these polished and brilliant accounts of Janacek’s two String Quartets seem exemplary and rank alongside many of the finest ever recorded … the playing is splendid in every way … Well worth investigating.
