Pressestimmen

With a new violist, the Dover Quartet delivers remarkable playing at Winter Chamber Music Festival
That was fortunate for the Dover Quartet delivered a remarkable performance, one of the finest chamber events heard in recent years. All the Dover Quartet’s considerable qualities – faultless intonation and ensemble, consistent control even at top speeds, and a keen blend of tonal warmth and incisiveness – were manifest from the first notes in a deep and notably fresh performance of this much-played work. If there is a better chamber group than the Dover Quartet playing right now, I have yet to hear them.
