„anspruchsvolle Unterhaltung ... im Repertoire unterrepräsentiert, was sich dank dieser perfekten Darbietung jedoch ändern könnte” (HiFi Vision) „... macht das Anhören der Platte insgesamt erheblichen Spaß.” (NZM)

”The only two works by Beethoven in this ‘serenade genre’, that functional form of multi-movement music intended as an accompaniment to various types of social activity are given loving and natural performances here on a label that has become synonymous with quality chamber music.” (K Int´l)
