New Zealand's premier chamber music ensemble!
"Both pieces here shine in excellent performances, the carefully calculated anf highly novel instrumental effects and colours precisely realized and just as precisely captured in a clear but atmosphereic recording." International Record review (Jan 2001)
"...some of the most intense and emotionally involving Debussy and Ravel on disc."
ClassicsToday.com...
These quartets are about, not only colour, but style and technical precision. These important works are part of every chamber ensemble's repertoire.
"The New Zealand String Quartet proves here that it knows a lot - a lot more than most quartets about how to make these oft-played and oft-underestimated repertoire standards sound fresh and original. The result is some of the most intense and emotionally involving Debussy and Ravel on disc."
