"I'd never heard the Brentano before, this was their British debut, but I knew of their reputation. And the agile, wiry intelligence of their playing, in a constant state of alert, was...good as promised. They followed with as momentous a performance of Beethoven's Op. 130 quartets as I've ever heard live...Passionate, uninhibited and spell-bounding." - The Independent

"The Brentano String Quartet brings a special level of refinement and attention to detail... Among its many strengths is an ability to deliver on the chamber music ideals of equal partnership and intellectual dialogue. The group produces a sound that gives the impression of a single, unified instrument that is beautifully balanced and sensitive to the changing importance of individual lines." - AllMusic Guide
