Critical Reception

The quartet's recording of Prokofiev's String quartets for Dynamic received very favourable reviews. Writing for The Strad,[5] Julian Haylock stated: "Throughout even the thorniest passages they retain absolute technical composure, knife-edge ensemble and remarkable intonational accuracy". The same recording was praised for its "mischievous alacrity" by Jerry Dubbins in Fanfare Magazine.[7] Robert Cummings of ClassicalNet stated that the recordings of the Prokofiev were "at least as good as the best of them".[2]
