"...The work that they have done here is gorgeous in every way..."

Raymond Tuttle - Fanfare - Jan/Feb 2018

"... The first half consists of delightful Gallic staples... The second half explores the eclectiscism of the present day...The concert is strong and convincing. The Ferio Quartet plays with nimble technique, mature phrasing, exquisite an forceful dynamics, and excellent balance, blend, and teamwork. The traditional selections come across as fresh and exciting, and the contemporary contributions have the emotional investment and attention to detail that make them an easy sell..."

Patrick Hanudel - American Record Guide - November/December 2017

“...This is a kaleidoscopically varied and generous recital of tune-centred tonal music. It is played with aplomb and affection... Chandos more than meet the music half way with the label's usual attention to warmth and punchiness of sound and well calculated documentation.”

Rob Barnett - MusicWeb-International.com - 13 September 2017

“... Playing is of the highest level throughout, as is the stunning recorded sound.” *****

Guy Weatherall – Classical Music magazine – September 2017

“...Lots to discover and enjoy here, then, in intensely musical performances... the artistry of the performances is beyond question.”

Richard Bratby - Gramophone magazine - September 2017

Performance *** Recording ****

“... the Ferios certainly have skill on their side, and every emotional hue you could want – smoky, honeyed, Shrieking or sad”

Geoff Brown – BBC Music magazine – October 2017
