"Their Beethoven cycle must be numbered among the finest currently available." Gramophone
"These are stern and rather unyielding performances of Beethoven's first quartets (by number) as if to say 'There's nothing immature about this,' when no one could suspect there was. The recording tends to be fuzzy." BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ***
The Talich Quartet, often hailed for its sensitive interpretation of classical works, is one of Europe's finest ensembles. A solid voice in the classical music circuit, the Talich's extensive repertoire has won many awards. Matching their strengths with those of musical genius Ludwig Van Beethoven, Talich follows the astonishing cycle of the masters' quartets on Integral of the Quartets. Exploring the changing voice of the 18th century composer as he moved through three cycles of quartet composition, these seven CDs offer it all - Beethoven's entire quartet repertoire played by an internationally acclaimed ensemble. What more could one ask for?
