"The sound quality of this audio DVD is simply superb, with an immediacy and presence that gives one the illusion of a live performance. The soundfield is both wide and deep, all around you - using Tacet's "Real Surround Sound" which places the listener in the midst of the quartet. Each of the four instruments is in ist own definite aural space while allowing each one to bloom. Tacet specializes in this form of surround sound and the results are excellent."

Audiophil Audition (07/30/2009):

(...) The Auryn Quartet plays both Op. 51 quartets with an ease and confidence that enable the listener to forget the composer's manufactured complexities. Their tone is sufficiently dark to remind the listener that Brahms is, after all, a Romantic composer. more...

Klassik heute (03/20/2009):
