"Brilliantly accurate and virtuosic presentation characterises the Carducci’s approach to both these works. I followed the performances with scores and these players don’t put a foot wrong. Tempos are astutely judged and the faster invention has a driving energy and potency. They delineate the Lassus-style part-writing in the first movement of no.15 with clarity, and have a sense of when the impact should feel tense and when it should be more relaxed."
- The Strad
The Carducci Quartet return to Signum Classics for their third album of string quartets by Shostakovich.
