**** (Excellent Album)

“…The Tippett Quartet capture both the steeliness and humanity of this demanding but endlessly fascinating music.”

Michael Wilkinson - MusicWeb-International.com – 1 February 2019

Critics' Choice - Chamber Section

"...This is a recording deserving of the very highest recommendation."

Ivan Moody – Gramophone magazine – January 2019

Performance **** Recording ****

"... Throughout, the Tippett Quartet are sympathetic and expert interpreters negotiating Górecki's soundworld with a strong sense of ensemble and making most of the abundant contrasts of material and intensity. Perhaps not every details is in place, but they are unquestionably impressive in externalising the coherence and formal integrity of these works... Overall, not an easy listen, but one that brings rich rewards."

Jan Smaczny - BBC Music Magazine - January 2019
