"The Schubert Ensemble can be applauded to the skies for bringing Enescu's ridiculously neglected chamber music to the fore. Their playing is dedicated and enthusiastic, with William Howard's deft pianism and strong rhythmic sense anchoring the flights of fantasy with which the strings surround him." (Classic FM)
"The Schubert Ensemble have clearly lived with this music for a long time - and love it. Subtlety, restraint, perfect unanimity within the ebb and flow of the inbuilt rubato - they have it all, plus the sudden blazes of energy required in both Quartet's finales. The limpidity and crystalline touch of William Howard's pianism impresses throughout. These works are magnificently performed here. An important release." (BBC Music Magazine)

"They have performed these big-boned quartets and his Piano Quintet at Wigmore Hall and elsewhere, and this recording is further sumptuous advocacy." (The Sunday Times)
