 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
'These are among the great interpretations that have been placed on disc ... I do believe that this cycle could grow to some of the most impressive Shostakovich performances ever placed on disc' (Fanfare, USA) 'Playing of a technical command that invites comparison with the best available' (Gramophone) 'An emotional intensity which leaves little doubt that it meant a great deal to the composer - and to these prize-winning Russian players' (Liverpool Evening News) 'An extremely well-balanced and -matched ensemble, giving highly energised and committed performances. This recording seems to have found the ideal balance between youthful vigour and adult refinement. The tone is warm and the recording sumptuous. The disc is very highly recommended' (Music Teacher)
