“In some ways, the Tokyo Quartet on this splendid recorded CD seem almost too relaxed at the start of the American...[They] respond rather better to the tragic drama of Smetana's From My Life Quartet.

Neither effete nor especially idiomatic, they promote a rare musical intelligence” --Gramophone Magazine, July 2013
