String Quartets, Vol. 1

"It must be said that these new accounts by the Nightingale Quartet are at the very least competitive with their forebears and the finest to date sonically. In many respects, they follow similar trajectories through the works as did the Kontra, though in No. 1 they are more measured in the opening Affettuoso – animato but more energised in the dancelike finale." - Gramophone
