“this is an enjoyable disc of off-the-beaten-track music for string quartet...The Brodsky Quartet clearly relish the chance to do something less heavyweight than their usual repertoire” BBC Music Magazine, October 2013 ****
“[in the Turina] vibrant Iberian colours make an unalloyed delight of the Brodsky's playing...[Rowland] leads a performance [of the Verdi] that stings with the shock of extreme dynamic contrasts and thrills with moments of rhythmic exactness...this is a very refreshing collection.” -- International Record Review, May 2013

“Not unexpectedly, the performances by the Brodsky Quartet are full of spontaneously imaginative insights and equal to all the diverse demands of these six composers.” --Gramophone, June 2013
“These six works are by composers not associated with string quartets. The mood is Italianate, but not exclusively so...Paul Cassidy, has arranged – winningly – two solo violin Caprices by Paganini for quartet, here in a premiere recording...Verdi's Quartetto has a lyrical if operatic simplicity and energy. All evoke pleasurable heat and light.” --The Observer, 24th March 2013
