"The quartets are an especial delight, unjustly neglected treats for the Schumann bicentenary." Sunday Times, 29th August 2010 ****

"They are mostly modest little songs about love and loss, but as these performances - done with just the right light touch - show, the sequences are both touching and charming, and just occasionally find the expressive vein that yielded some of Schumann's greatest songs nine years earlier." The Guardian, 19th August 2010 **** (on the Schumann)

"The quartets are an especial delight, unjustly neglected treats for the Schumann bicentenary." Sunday Times, 29th August 2010 **** (on the Schumann)

"Marlis Petersen, Stella Doufexis, Werner Güra and Konrad Jarnot could not be bettered. They sing with one unquenchable spirit; the men yearn with a rare lilt to their prasing in 'O die Frauen' while the women catch just the right ironic tome for the next piece."
(William Dart NZ Herald 20/09/07 on the Brahms)
