Reviews

“The Doric String Quartet has a great affinity for Haydn… The Dorics are alive to everything and there’s a sense of adventure in the playing of leader Alex Redington and his colleagues violinist Jonathan Stone, violist Hélène Clément and cellist John Myerscough – witness the almost gypsy-like elan of the violin solo in the second movement of the Sixth Quartet. Haydn’s wit is not lost on them either with their delicious sliding figures and whistling effects in the minuet which follows.The quartet is barely out of the recording studio these days and Clement says they rehearse exhaustively beforehand so as to produce a “live” performance feel. It certainly works.” *****

Steve Moffat – Limelight magazine.com.au – 18 September 2018

Performance **** Recording *****

“… These are performances that take you inside the music, so that it’s almost possible to hear them with a performer’s ear and experience the delight as the notes leap of the page and into life – the expertly attuned recordings certainly help…”

Stephen Johnson - BBC Music magazine - July 2018

“… Nos 5 and 6 are profoundly satisfying throughout, their first movements amply spacious, the minuets unpredictably and wittily timed, and the finales – high-class show-off music if ever there was – breathtaking in their mingled precision, delicacy and whooping high spirits. The recording, as in previous issues, is in the demonstration class while Dean Sutcliffe’s notes. Like the playing, are guaranteed to make you hear these quartets with fresh ears.”

Richard Wigmore – Gramophone magazine – April 2018

“The Op. 64s are among Haydn’s least played quartets: only the Lark, No 5, is familiar ... Yet what treasures of invention, innovation, humour and beauty they contain. No 6 in E flat is a particular delight, but so is much else in these richly varied works, to which the excellent Doric players do ample justice.”

David Cairns – The Sunday Times (Culture magazine) – 25 February 2018
