YORK BOWEN QUARTETS RE-RELEASED ON NAXOS
Naxos 8. 57 1366 (70.22)
“Indeed from the very first note they fairly explode with feeling and energy, turning each phrase into a gleaming gem. This is quartet playing on an extraordinary high level, and I hope to hear more of them in the future.”
“Archaeus musicians give their souls up to the feeling and spirit of the music, transcending the mere playing of their instruments to become a single instrument of York Bowen’s musical thoughts and feelings.”
“Is it my imagination, or does the Archaeus almost make this music “swing” in the first movement? They certainly have a way of playing that circumvents stiff or traditional phrasing. This disc is a winner form start to finish, and you can be certain that I will be on the lookout for any future releases by this quartet"
