"El disco del Cuarteto Zemlinsky dedicado a los Cuartetos, D. 887 y D. 703, de Franz Schubert constituye una lectura profundamente consciente de las tensiones estéticas y estructurales que atraviesan la última producción camerística del compositor. Lejos de presentar un Schubert puramente melódico y sentimental, el conjunto checo revela la extraordinaria complejidad formal y psicológica de estas obras, abordándolas desde una interpretación de gran rigor estructural y enorme intensidad expresiva."

"It is wonderful to hear Black is the color of my true love’s hair here. Could any arrangement be as powerful as Berio’s in his 1964 Folk Songs? Could any singer be as poignant as Cathy Berberian? Surprisingly, ZEFIRO TORNA tells us the answer is yes: starting as a confidence, the music turns into whisper, every nuance perfectly captured by Evil Penguin’s demonstration-standard recording (Steven Maes and Felicia Bockstael, engineer and musical director/editor)."

"Every note seems to be absolutely in place, with fantastic clarity of articulation even in the more densely textured passages in both works. Another admirable aspect of these performances is their sheer beauty of tone.”
