Reviews
“Sunday, Phillips Music presented the Munich-based Goldmund Quartet in the ballroom of Anderson House. These four young men, violinists Florian Schötz and Pinchas Adt, violist Christoph Vandory, and cellist Raphael Paratore, captured all hearts from the first measures of Haydn’s Quartet in G, Op 54, No 1, which fairly burst with intelligence and wit. Their to-the-manner-born ease with the rhetoric of Viennese classicism readily translated to the second of Beethoven’s ‘Rasumovsky’ quartets in a performance that was well integrated, lean, and searingly intense.”
“All the while, the musicians displayed impeccable intonation and a seemingly extrasensory connection with one another. Each played with exquisite clarity of tone in which every note could be parsed by the ear, but placed exactly where it needed to be in the mix.”
“The music of Shostakovich is always fascinating of course, hardly worth arguing about. But this recording by the Goldmund Quartet is in another realm. The incredible musicality of the four string players, their rhythmic precision and crystal clear intonation ensure that this CD is a real highlight. Highly recommended.”
“Magnificent, brilliant, top-tier musical artistry - this is how the debut concert of the Goldmund Quartet in Mönchengladbach at the fourth Master Concert in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle can be summarized.”
“Downright scary-good”
