“The Britten Quartet gives exceptionally powerful readings … the magnificent No.2 of 1945 with its rare example of him using sonata-form … they never let you forget the emotions behind his writing” [No.1] “warm and spacious treatment of his writing brings out to the full the distinctive imagination … full-blooded, wide ranging sound.” (Penguin Guide, 3 stars)
