Prussian Quartets

"Their aim, 'to strive for elegance, beauty and style', results in interpretations that are technically impeccable and immaculately presented but also subjectively neutral...These barriers to full communication are however eased for K590, where less restricted sound shows the group in a better light. Polished playing is now complemented by improved tonal gradations and more yielding phrasing in both the first and third movements."
(Gramophone)

"There was a time when the Emersons' Mozart was more about sparkling brilliance and textural cleanliness than interpretative fantasy, but nowadays they are more inclined to take their time and imbue their classicism with greater humanity and affectionate warmth. Particularly in the glorious 21st, one senses that this is music that they not only admire but are deeply moved by."

"the elegant flow of the musicians' fingers brings both pleasures and perils. As always, there's considerable comfort in the certainty of pitch, the warm colours, the general air of civilised ease, matched to music of high artistry. But with this ease comes some further blurring of detail."
