"Their ride to the abyss [in Death and the Maiden] is surely the fastest on disc. Yet this is no mere technical stunt. Imaginatively coloured, uncommonly wide in dynamic range, the Arod's playing combines clarity of detail with a thrilling, desperate abandon…The Arod always compel with their questing imagination, both in the two masterpieces and in the C major Quartet, tossed off by the teenage Schubert in five days flat." Gramophone
"The opening chords of the title quartet, played fiercely and with very little vibrato, are detonated with raw energy...The final Presto gallops to its febrile conclusion: if you've ever felt jaded by this famous work, the Arod's performance will shatter your preconceptions." Guardian
