Fantastic

Elizabeth Bakalyar | Chicago, IL, USA | 11/10/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I actually had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Wihan Quartet while they were in the U.S. in 1999 and own several of their CD's. While I believe they have the corner on Czech music (their Dvorak is some of the best I've ever heard), their Beethoven cycle is truly fantastic. The quartet sound simply shimmers, and their use of drama throughout this music is both tasteful and wonderfully effective. I always thoroughly enjoy listening to their recordings."
