"Wie es [Konzert] den vier Streichern ... und ihre Kollegen ... gelingt, diese Gegensätze zu einem stimmigen Ganzen vereinen, ist meisterhaft. Die jungen Briten begeistern mit einer ausgewogenen Mischung aus Leidenschaft und Sorgfalt ... Dass die Interpreten die fein verästelten Motivbeziehungen hier [Quartett] nicht in sämiger Legatososse ertränken, sondern sie mit subtilen Farbnuancen ausleuchten, ist ein weitere Beleg für den guten Geschmack des britischen Ensembles".

"Violinist Jennifer Pike, pianist Tom Poster and the Doric String Quartet have done much more than scratch the surface of this piece [Concert] ... It is their handling of the gradually building tension in the slow movement, from disquiet to impassioned pleading via reflection and agitation, that marks out as an especially fine performance ... It is an engrossing work [Quartet], especially in as committed a performance as this. It makes an ideal foil to the Concert".

"Sandrine Piau's very pure soprano well suits the betrayed and suicidal heroine of the Chanson perpétuelle. The string Quartet as a work does not have quite the same definition and consistency as the Concert, but it's a welcome completion for a beautiful disc".

"There are plenty of opportunities for Jennifer Pike to display her sinuous, tender tone, while Tom Poster reminds us yet again why he's so highly regarded as a chamber musician ... A real front-runner for the Concert, and the most convincing of advocates for the more problematic String Quartet".
