We are very hap­py that our Schubert recor­ding was award­ed with the Quarterly Critic’s Choice!
That’s the prai­se of the jury:
„It is rare to find such com­pel­ling dra­ma­tur­gy in a pro­gram­me of music that was writ­ten almost two cen­tu­ries apart. The sonic con­trast bet­ween recor­der and string quar­tet is explo­red impres­si­ve­ly, with a ran­ge of dif­fe­rent play­ing tech­ni­ques employ­ed in Iris ter Schiphorst’s Schubert homage »Sei gutes Muts« (2021). In Mark Andre’s Seven Pieces (2022/23), the quar­tet crea­tes a bare­ly-per­cep­ti­ble, ghost­ly sound world. For the album’s cen­tre­pie­ce, Schubert’s quar­tet, the Kuss Quartet gets an extra star for its expres­si­ve, at times almost metal­lic playing.“
