Review ' … rich-toned and forceful … the playing is beautiful … an unsettling performance, and that is a compliment.' --Tim Homfray The Strad, 26th August 2014 'Schubert and Janá ek may not seem the most natural of bedfellows but this turns out to be an inspired pairing ... Quatuor Debussy are highly reactive in both works ... What is especially striking is the way each player comes across with such personality ... The quartet offer a reading full of incident and detail ...' --Harriet Smith Sinfini Music, 19th September 2014 'the detail is clear and effective … two good performances' --John Warrack Gramophone, October 2014
