“Sehr dicht, sehr lebendig und doch sehr transparent in völliger Gleichwertigkeit aller vier Instrumente ist der Quartett-Klang – und doch hebt sich die sonnighelle 1. Geige führend etwas ab. Alle vier Streicher spielen mit liebender Hingabe, mit Zärtlichkeit, absoluter Reinheit der Intonation und schwebender Leichtigkeit… Die gut eingefangene Reinheit des Raumes des Domovina-Studios in Prag spielt eine gewichtige Rolle bei dieser CD, die böhmische Musizierlust, den Nachhall einer historischen Komponisten-Stunde und eine hübsche Produktions-Idee vereint.”
Klassik Heute, October 2024
“The Bennewitz Quartet’s captivating performances are well projected, sensitively phrased and abundant in contrasts of dynamic and mood… the quartet plays with commendable freedom and unanimity… Vaňhal and Dittersdorf’s quartets particularly showcase leader Jakub Fišer’s neat, unfettered and often bravura contributions, but his colleagues also gain prominence, especially in the episodes of both works’ energetic rondo finales.”
The Strad, November 2024
“The Bennewitz Quartet’s homage to that famous Viennese evening culminates in a superb performance of the Dissonance: rhythmically strong and supple, always sensitive to harmonic colour (as in their timing and shading of the finale’s sly key shifts) and alive to every subtlety of Mozart’s complex part-writing. ”
Gramophone, November 2024
“If those four composers played with quite the same flare and energy as the Bennewitz Quartet, it must have been quite some occasion!”
