Quotes

‘…this kind of insight and commitment would be remarkable for an ensemble who played together every day; that the Razumovskys manage it on such an ad-hoc basis- all having successful solo careers alongside their chamber music playing - is a minor miracle.’ The Guardian

As always quite superb. The Tchaikovsky was the 'star' piece and those of us who heard them play this about 5 years ago – are left wondering which performance was best! Magnificent!
