REVIEWS: The Sorrels make intelligent musical decisions, play with great sound, and are recorded superbly. There are few essential recordings of these works…But it’s hard to have just one recording of these works. The Sorrel will make a good addition to any collection. American Record Guide ----- 'Once again , the Sorrel delivers a fine and often atmospheric performance, the latter quality being particularly hard to achieve without the benefit of a live audience.' BBC Music Magazine ----- 'Theirs is essentially a neo-classical approach: clear-focused, painstakingly voiced, tonally ingratiating and structurally aware, allowing the music to do the talking with the minimum of interference.' The Strad 'With sound that is a model of spacious yet focused quartet recording, and a succinct but informed note from Eric Roseberry, the disc will be an automatic purchase for those following this most impressive of current Shostakovich traversals.' International Record Review ----- 'The superlative Sorrel Quartet have now recorded 13 of Shostakovich's 15 string quartets. They are up against formidable competition, but their playing and their understanding of the music equals that of their international rivals' a superb performance, recorded in Snape Maltings.' BBC Music Magazine
