"The Dantes capture the ecstatic intensity of Janacek's vision with an equally moving vulnerability." Harry Eyres, Last Word
"These [interpretations of Janacek's quartets] by the superb Dante Quartet, are suitably impassioned [with] greater intensity and tenderness [and] more alive to the lyricism that coexists with Janacek's harshest inventions." David Cairns, The Sunday Times
