"The central Lento of Caetani's op. 12 Quartet is the highlight of the disc: a deeply felt but restrained hymn. Voluptuous self-indulgence is kept at bay by the Alauda Quartet finely drawn cantabile phrasing and a discreetly shaded tonal palette, which eschews excess vibrato. " Peter Quantrill

(Strad magazine)

 

"...the Alauda Quartet have a unique sense of communication which seems to be an absolute necessity in todays music world. I predict them to become a very good string quartet with an extraordinary artistic profile..." Oliver Wille ( Kuss Quartet)



"...their program was broken down with impressively strong musical contrasts, their expressive interpretations of the aesthetics of opposition translated convincingly  within the works..." Jonas Rohde ( Hannover newspaper)
