Reviews

“… the Brodskys brings a wealth of experience and understanding to the music. Their grasp of its often elusive architecture is unerring, while no subtle nuance of the surface details seems to escape their attention. The warm, richly detailed recorded sound only further enhances one of the great chamber recordings of the year. If you’ve yet to make the acquaintance of two of the masterpieces of 20th-century chamber music, then here’s a virtually ideal introduction.”

***** Coup de Coeur

Michel Fleury - Classica magazine (France) - October 2019

Performance **** Recording *****

“… a warmly recommendable issue.”

Terry Blain - BBC Music magazine - August 2019

“… The quartet was written for the original Brodsky players, and their namesakes deliver fiercely committed accounts, with Roscoe shining brightly in the quintet.”

Hugh Canning – The Sunday Times (Culture magazine) – 19 May 2019

“Performances of conspicuous insight, pedigree and power. In the mighty Piano Quintet the Brodskys generate a consistently stimulating rapport with the admirable Martin Roscoe. Theirs is a marvellously cogent conception, ideally paced and splendidly integrated, possessing a dedication, seep and ardour that betoken a very real identification with this repertoire… it’s worth acquiring this rewarding issue.”

Andrew Achenbach – Gramophone magazine – June 2019

“… recommended without reserve to any newcomer to the music…” *****

“… They play the work [Quartet] very sensitively …” ****

Andrew Clements – The Guardian – 26 April 2019

Album of the Week

“…I do urge you to hear these fine performances, which are, as always, with Chandos (about to celebrate their 40th Anniversary) exceptionally well recorded, and very well played by all concerned.”
