From the front cover of Classical Music Magazine to Wigmore Hall!

The Financial Times reported 'today’s Borodin Quartet has lost nothing of its old authority...Everything had a deep and understated gravity, as though they were exploring the most private corners of the human soul'
The Independent commented on the quartet's interpretation of Shostakovich 'they play him with a very particular authority, as if the hotline to his every thought it still very much open...The final sunset that the Borodins conjoured here [Quartet No 8] was possessed of an almost supernatural radiance'
In other news, Classic Music Magazine ran a major feature on the quartet. The article describes them as 'both steeped in tradition and fresh as ever'. To read the article please click here.
