“the Shostakovich Quartet is notable for their powerful playing and their ability to get deeply into the emotions of a work” (MusicWeb, 2008)
“the Shostakovich Quartet are masterly…the early pieces dating from Composer’s student days….are of interest as is anything that the master penned…” (c) Penguin Guide
“Third Quartet is a difficult work to play… a very intense piece, intricately constructed and extending quartet textures further than (he) ever had before. The Shostakovich Quartet understand the music well, not only setting intelligent tempos and phrasing with warmth and flexibility, but grasping the very elaborate harmonic structures” (Gramophone)
