Reviews: Atrium String Quartet

"... ATRIUM is a genuine quartet... Such a clear understanding of artistic
challenges appear only rarely, even in mature quartets. ATRIUM succeeded in
demonstrating a carefully balanced tone and superb ensemble playing." - Kommersant, St.Petersburg, 28.01.2001

"A beautifully balanced group with a fine, burnished tone and excellent blend" - The Strad, July 2003

"From the first bars of the Mozart we can appreciate the quartet's beautiful
balance and blend of sounds, and we're quickly aware, too, that the music is
being played with real understanding…" - Gramophone, 17.04.2004

"Beyond any doubt: This Quartet already belongs to the best of the chamber
music executors." - Reihn-Necar-Zeitung (after the Schwetzingen Festival), 09.06.2006
