'This attention to the individual character of Mozart’s lines (made) this performance immediately stand out'.
Shostakovich:
'A truly bleak and unsettling performance, stripping away any veneer of safety its relative popularity might bring'.
Brahms:
'Tamestit made the melody sing, and Chorzelski on second viola, provided sympathetic support'.
'After the existential despair of the Shostakovich, this was a reassuring and life-affirming end to the evening'.
