"I find [the Gabrieli String Quartet's] readings impressive. They have authority and imagination and they are as faithful to the score as I can judge … I admire the way they succeed in sustaining magic without inflating the rhetoric and over-emphasizing the bizarre. They succeed, too, in maintaining beautiful sound" (Gramophone Janacek)
