“These players are immensely distinguished: their work is not for those with an impatient ear. They are able to suspend time, to magnify, hold and examine the sounds which use it up relentlessly, with patience and sympathy, risking all in the making of each performance, so that the audience must be prepared for near disaster or some kind of unmeasurable success; they constantly reappraise the activity to which they devote themselves, and we are privileged to perceive its development.” – Musical Times
