Intimate Voices

“…a strong, sympathetic performance of Sibelius's one mature quartet, Voces Intimae, can make you regret that he didn't stick with the medium. …it's good to hear this music taken so seriously, and so shaped so powerfully. The recordings are as fine as this truly outstanding playing deserves.” --BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 *****

“In the Grieg, a powerful, emphatic style highlights the music's passionate intensity. …a magnificent performance… of the Sibelius… with a deeply felt Adagio and, in the finale, playing of such poise, crispness and vitality as to outpace even the 1930s Budapest.” --Gramophone Magazine, June 2006

"La expresividad del Cuarteto Emerson, su infatigable disciplina, esa sonoridad redonda, preciosa (el primer violín es un Stradivarius conocido como Duque de Alba), la singular potencia de cada pupitre, permite que recomendemos este disco como la referencia de cada una de las tres piezas." --CD Compact (Barcelona)
