“The emotional palette is broad: surging intensity is balanced emotionally by tenderness, delicate sensitivity, and…even by touches of humour. But the balance is architectural too. It may be a slightly partial view of Brahms, but it's hard to deny that the cap fits, that performances in which this music speaks so effectively and so consistently are infrequent, and that questions of whether either work represents 'real' quartet writing have rarely seemed less relevant.” --BBC Music Magazine, December 2015
Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice - October 2015
“the Artemis give us a Brahms of and for our time, inevitably informed by their work on Bartok and Ligeti just as much as on late Beethoven…[they have] taste and sense in abundance, and we could count ourselves very lucky to hear nowadays a performance of the C minor Symphony that matched this recording for its urgency and discretion of response.” --Gramophone Magazine, October 2015
“As the excellent German group the Artemis remind us, the C minor is the composer at his most compelling and passionate, with complex, pulsating cross-rhythms, daring changes of key and expressive melodies. The later, more playful B flat also receives a fine performance, at once dynamic and subtly flexible.” --Sunday Times, 20th September 2015
