15th January 2020
The Pavel Haas Quartet's new album featuring Shostakovich's String Quartets Nos. 2, 7, 8 received ***** in the Christmas issue and the Critic's Choice in the „Music to my ears“ section in the January issue of BBC Music Magazine.
„It's their lightness of touch that commands; the subtle nuances of colour, line and texture performed with almost spectral intensity.“
BBC Music Magazine*****, Christmas issue 2019
„What really grips me about these performances is the ensemble's ability to get under the skin of the music and their compellingly imaginative concept of texture, instrumental balance and nuance.“
BBC Music Magazine, January 2020
