  • “From beginning to end the playing sounded intelligent and sure, sofened at the edges with a full and mellow tone.”

    The New York Times

  • Their music, full of passion, yet with pure and beautiful tone color, intoxicated the listener.

    Wen Hui, Shanghai

  • The whole evening was a work of art, of technical brilliance, of careful, sensitive ensemble playing.
