"The Artemis enjoy growling, clashing, shivering, and the relentless energy of the last movements. Theirs is an impressive, vividly recorded approach." (BBC Music)

"Go straight to D810, Death and the Maiden. The two opening fortissimo motifs are like clarion calls. The Artemis Quartet are tersely explosive, fiery in attack, the sforzandos in the transition stabbing the air...the Artemis enlarge perceptions, push frontiers and perhaps question received wisdom." (Gramophone)

Bold, unflinching readings...that nevertheless offer playing of great delicacy and refinement in quieter passages. With some of the finest Schubert playing on disc...this is urgently recommended." (Classical Music)
