Colin Clarke for Classical Explorer
“It is a true indicator of the stature of a performance that, as one hears it, it is well-nigh impossible to imagine it played in any other way, or better. Such performances are rare, in or out of competitions, but somehow they managed it. Daring of the quartet, too, to choose for a piece that ends quietly. No crowd pleaser this – Mendelssohn’s A minor piece is a quartet of true profundity. The NOVO quartet gave us close to perfection.”
