EDITOR'S CHOICE - "Nothing if not characterful in such as the ruminative Barcarolle or the quixotic Dialogo, Wispelwey holds enough in reserve to make that finale among its composer’s most affecting statements."

CD recommendation: "Definitely worth a listen!"

"The Zemlinsky Quartet was founded more than 30 years ago when the players were still in school. They have developed into a very fine Czech group with a large discography and several awards. Here, in two of Schubert’s finest quartets, their playing is both technically solid in terms of intonation, ensemble and suitably impassioned and dramatic. In both the Quartettsatz, a single opening movement of an unfinished work, and particularly in the G major, the duality of Schubert—his lyric innocence alternating with pain and grief—can be deeply felt."

"Excellent sound and an impressive debut recital."
