"...big-boned, high-gloss sound...Cypresses (B.152) has some stunning moments, though the finest readings are of the valedictory Thirteenth and Fourteenth Quartets, the last strongly Brahmsian." The Independent, 2nd May 2010

"The American group play with a wonderfully suave style, but the gutsy spirit needed for Dvorák keeps poking through...The mellow Cypresses, a transcribed song cycle, offers a welcome change of pace in this pleasing set." The Times, 5th June 2010 ***
