October 2006

Often delicate, occasionally robust but highly listenable throughout, there's nothing quite like Jack's music in the modern quartet repertoire. The recording… is sonically immaculate and the Arditti deliver a typical empathetic performance.

Awards 2006

…in their skilful manipulation of basic patterns, avoiding the predictable and the pretentious in equal measure, these quartets have a distinctive personality, a mix of slightly melancholic nostalgia and engagingly direct get-up-and-go that offers longer-term as well as immediate pleasures. With its sequence of five quartets written between 1996 and 2002, the disc offers a substantial introduction to Adrian Jack's more recent music. The Ardittis add a sense of affection to their unrivalled flair for the new and unfamiliar, and the recordings are excellent in atmosphere and balance.
