Webern: 'The quartet consistently demonstrated this ability to play really quietly with confidence, as well as giving full intensity to the moments of high drama'.

Durupt: 'The Van Kuijk’s command of this complex piece was impressive, managing the tension between the structural architecture and the more improvisatory, individually expressive writing'.

Mozart: 'The warmth of tone from Wauwe’s clarinet was matched by rich string playing'.

'A great show of chamber excellence in widely varied repertoire from these young artists'.
