They have sweetness and vigor. The swelling that comes from natural bowing is not done here; sustained notes are smooth.

American Record Guide
“A great new ensemble with imaginative and daring young musicians that play with drive and pepper. They obviously love the rich sound; the recording was made in the rather reverberant acoustics, nevertheless, you can hear the fine nuances very well and vividly.“

The production alone is enough to make this album a contender for the Best of the Year.
