★★★★★ Music

★★★★★ Sound

Incredible: what a masterpiece! Gavriil Popov's "Quartet Symphony" is epic like a Schubert quartet. No trace of melancholy, but rather very lively. [...] An exhilarating experience. The Quartet Berlin-Tokyo dared to make the first recording ever and played the immensely difficult piece daringly and easily, penetratingly and elegantly, sky-stormingly and gently. The young musicians [...] have a tone that is both fine and robust and harmonize fabulously together in Popov's sophisticated sound fabrics. (Schulhoff's "Five Pieces") "...The fabulous quartet presents them all as sparkling jewels."

( Fono Forum Magazine Germany, 2.2022 )

“Without any exaggeration, the Berlin-Tokyo Quartet is the most perfect string quartet of our time – in terms of precision, culture, art of characterization and musical context.
The Quartet-Symphony is One of the great masterpieces of Soviet music. The performances, released on their own label, are phenomenal and unsurpassable in every way.”
