"In the two formal quartets there's no mistaking the passion and energy of the four players, yet the Schumann work does somtimes seem a little over-pressed ... The genial, sun-filled Mendelssohn, however, is a delight from start to finish".

"Denn wie schon auf 'Landscapes', der 2016 erschienenen Debüt-CD des Quartetts, gelingt es den Musikern auch jetzt wieder, ein Konzept-Album vorzulegen, das nicht nur in seiner Werkauswahl, -anordnung und -dramaturgie überzeugt, sondern auch in punkto Interpretation, Klangqualität und Repertoirewert (fast) keine Wünsche offen lässt".

"The tuning and balance in every piece on this disc is absolutely faultless, and it is this one fact that launches an interesting programming idea into a whole other world of mien and conclusion ... A set of truly special performances".

"The most striking feature of the Prazak's collaboration with Koroloiv in the glorious E flat Piano Quintet is the cohesion of ensemble playing, but from the outset anormalities begin to surface ... robs Schumann's principal material of its innate character ... I suspect Schumann fans will prefer the perfromances og the Kiujken Quartet".

"In the first of the quartets by their namesake, they are alive to its changeability and embrace the skittering accents of the Scherzo without ever becoming merely motoric, the Trio offering a moment of clam ... For Reimann's reworkings of Schumann's Op. 107 songs the quartet are joined by Anna Lucia Richter, who sings with flexibility and vivacity ... The final song, Abendlied, is particularly heart-rending in this version, the quartet lending the voice a chorale-like cushion of sound ... A fine offering from this young group".
