“So this really is the first project of its kind, and the whole cycle (which spans the period 1899 to 1938) offers a fascinating journey… As a first-time guide (if not entirely a pioneer) the Stamic Quartet do a perfectly serviceable job – with an unfussy way of phrasing Novák’s melodies and a firm grip on his more rhapsodic long-range structures.”
