Press reviews
“Their interplay is fresh, pure, concise, energetic, refined, sometimes intimate, romantic, or daring, and always full of life and imagination. It’s as if they want to make. a powerful statement: the world may be in chaos, but we never give up, embodying positive energy, action, and beauty.”

“The shimmering of the timbres, combined with the pulse, the rhetoric, and the shared diction of the musicians, make each piece a breathtaking monodrama.(…) As for Debussy and especially Grieg, they are thrust into a completely new and free realm, where the body is lifted.”

“The four voices are in perfect balance, and through an intricate use of all vibrato gradations and a profound musical instinct, this is a jewel of a discographic debut.”
