Cuarteto Latinoamericano
"...a striking ability to hear the leading line, so that listening to Beethoven was like reading the score. The tone had tremendous control and gradations, against which you could always hear the immaculate silvery threads of the first violin. The performance was an elegant, laid-back miracle, thoroughly worked out, often with a wonderful sense of formality. " -Huffington Post
