“… The previous volumes have garnered glowing reviews, and it’s easy to hear why: these are quite superb performances of works that “instantly captivated” the Arcadia members when they first encountered them.”

“… Those who have been following this cycle need not hesitate; anyone new to this music could hardly do better than begin here.”

“… As has been evident from their previous Weinberg releases, the Arcadia Quartet delivers strongly committed and superbly executed performances of both works, supported by clear and focused recorded sound. Employing a wealth of contrasting timbres, articulations and dynamics, they seem to have a clear vision of the direction of each movement and keep the listener fully engaged …”

“…The Arcadia Quartet take us through different emotions with lovely textural colour and a technical adroitness that is quite outstanding, especially their bowing skill. Each of the players display exceptional musicianship and agility creating gravity and substance producing commanding performances.”

“… Both works offer harmonically demanding moments as well as passages of great lyrical intensity. The musicians of the Arcadia Quartet find their way in both worlds with great assurance… the Quartet offers a well-cultivated togetherness. The individual instruments might be clearly positioned, yet the group’s unity is never endangered. The works, which require conventional playing techniques, harmonically offer the modernity of their time. The Arcadia Quartet knows how to present all this in an exquisite performance.”
