„It’s not often that you get a chamber disc over which gripping, cumulative storytelling and bringing the repertoire forwards are favoured so entirely over playlist hits. This is how to programme Schubert, and flip me, it’s powerful.“ Charlotte Gardner

„An enterprising and stimulating album… impeccably played throughout“
BBC Music Magazine
„The Kuss Quartet also focuses on the fissures within the music in its performance. The fact that the first movement travels through no fewer than ten keys becomes an event in itself. The dramaturgy of the Andante con moto is highly sophisticated, with the delicate, fragile opening skillfully and gradually building up to the intensely dramatic third variation. Even in the breathlessly racing Presto finale, with its dizzying parallel motion, every note lands with pinpoint precision. This is a recording that truly demands to be experienced in its entirety.“
