September 2012

Bruno Monteiro, João Paulo Santos and the Lopes-Graça Quartet begin with broad strokes that soon soften to an intimate lyricism that they paint with stunning tonal colours...Monteiro's personal interpretation tells a musical tale of striving for an ideal that he eventually achieves with the radiance of his playing

September 2012

An impressive line-up of some of Portugal´s best known chamber musicians, and the playing on this disc is inventing and lyrical in a way that shows that they are warmly engaged in their performance...The solo violin tone is, in fact, sweet and beautiful.

June 2012

surely one of the biggest and best sextets in the Romantic repertoire...Certainly the performers here seem convinced of its potentialities, expressively twisting and turning as page after page of Chausson's marvellous score takes flight...Sound quality too, from a technical point of view, is very good.

September 2012

[The Concerto receives] a highly convincing account, beautifully played...But this Centaur disc is recommended for the rhapsodic account of the Poème, where Monteiro´s generous vibrato produces radiant colours to complement the generous backdrop from pianist João Paulo Santos.

Classical Net March 2013

Bruno Monteiro and Joao Paulo Santos triumph again...Monteiro plays handsomely, with total confidence and conviction...[the Poeme] sounds fresh and entirely natural...Santos proves a miraculously sensitive artist...Monteiro thrills with a warm sound full with vibrato, and Santos follows him like a shadow.

Strings Magazine September 2012

Expressive, interpretative playing, beautiful tone, and a textbook ensemble mark this stunning recording of Ernest Chausson´s sometimes elegant and often dramatic Concerto...Monteiro delivers an emotional but tightly managed performance, over and again rising to the Chausson´s many challenges throughout these to great works...This is a young chamber musician of extraordinary sensitivity.

Pizzicato October 2012

Here is a passionate and highly expressive version of the Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Quartet by Ernest Chausson, that does full justice to both the lyricism and dramatic power of the composition. In the "Poème", Portuguese violinist Bruno Monteiro shows a very warm and fluid sound that differentiates the different contrasting sections of the work
