"The Jerusalem find all the drama. Another fine, compelling release from the Jerusalem Quartet. Goodness knows, there's enough competiton out there for Deaths and Maidens and I'm still in awe of the intensity of the recent Takács version on Hyperion. But this performance takes a slower-burn approach, a careful sense of story-telling that has its own deep rewards." (Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine July 2008)

"an outstanding disc… Their mastery of rubato is as refined as that of any contemporary group, and this disc is as near to perfection as one can possibly find." BBC Music Magazine Chamber Choice June 2008

"this is first and foremost a howl of rage against encroaching mortality. The integrity of the performance is never in doubt, and the playing is often breathtaking in its commitment and fire" The Guardian
