Description:
... When I heard all this, I had the suspicion that there were not four players and four fiddles, but a fabulous string instrument with endless capacity: The whole thing fitted together with such musical homogeneity. Altogether the Auryn Quartet achieves astonishing perfection which never becomes soulless. What more could one want? (HiFiVision) Enthusiastically recommended! (Fanfare)
