Smetana & Sibelius: String Quartets


'By the time of the Second Quartet, Smetana's final madness was almost upon him; the Dante's characterise its rapid mood changes with a cold intensity. This is a splendid issue' --BBC Music Magazine

'The Dante Quartet can scarcely be faulted … Each performance is eloquent, intense and emotionally gripping … the D minor Quartet has an entirely appropriate earthiness and the urgency of all the fast movements is compelling' --Gramophone Magazine




BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE CHAMBER MUSIC CHOICE

'These performances are superb - the Dante Quartet players really have the ability to bring music alive and sustain the listener through these examples of the quartet repertoire that may still be finding homes. Blessed with first-class sound and excellent annotation, this generous release is a winner' --International Record Review

'The Dante Quartet has developed into a force to be reckoned with … Each player contributes bag-loads of personality, drawing out the chill winds of Sibelius and the earthy rhythms of Smetana's Czech polkas' --Classic FM Magazine
