"The subtly programme disc offers four string textures, trio to sextet, from three distinct periods of Boccherini's composing career. The best, and latest, comes first - one of the 47 two-cello quintets written for Frederick William of Prussia, himself a fine amateur cellist. Recorded sound is close, lending immediacy though, in the most forceful moments. It also generates some razor-edged tone from first violin." BBC Music
"All four works are attractive and the playing is superb, making the disc worth investigating." Sunday Times
