“… the performances as a whole achieve a rare degree of intensity… Perhaps the most impressive aspect of these recordings lies in the huge range of dynamics and timbres that are employed…” BBC Music Magazine, 5*
“…may well be the Brodsky Quartet’s crowning recorded achievement. [The] sonic glow of the new cycle…ravishing cantabile intensity and eloquence.” Strad Recommends, Strad Magazine
“…a heady and powerful set, beautifully produced by the Chandos crew.” Limelight Magazine
“… these recordings are a vivid recreation of [the Musiekgebouw’s] lively space… crackle of freshness and invention… Filled with gorgeous moments, fearsome passion and remarkable quartet colour, this is certainly a valuable Shostakovich cycle… firmly recommended.”
“ this Chandos recording has everything going for it, with superb definition in the string sound; plenty of detail and close texture… a set that can blast hefty gusts of new life into your collection.” MusicWeb International
