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

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.“
