REVIEWS

"The engineering by Matt Carr, who also produced the album is sterling....this is one of 2023's best chamber music albums." 

- Rafael Acha

    -All About the Arts

"The Brahms Andante is as warm and rich as a heated blanket."

- Solus Et Una - Amit Peled (CTM Classics)

    -BBC Music

 

"All of this can be heard on an extraordinarily detailed and transparent recording made in June of 2019 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Belvedere, California by recording maestro Matt Carr …

Without hesitation, this will now be the first recording of these works I will reach for on my shelf."

- Brahms & Mozart: Clarinet Quintets- Alexander String Quartet (2020 Foghorn)

    -Fanfare Magazine

 

"The engineering is a major contributor to the success of this release....for a modern recording in state of the art sound and imbued with the spirit of this great composer, this has to be a recording given the highest accolades. I'm not sure when I got more pure pleasure from a disc in recent times."
