The album by Martinů Quartet featuring the Complete String Quartets by Josef Beneš (1795–1873), a lesser known Czech composer, virtuoso violinist and distinguished teacher, who lived in Vienna and Ljubljana, held prestigious posts and gave concerts across Europe, has received a wonderful five stars' review in March issue of the Classica magazine.
"La sonorité des Martinù saisit dès les premières secondes, à la fois dense et ronde, et s'inscrit dans la grande tradition des cordes tchèques. Dans ces oeuvres gracieuses et légères, les interprètes contiennent cependant leur masse, tout en gardant de la consistance, et font le choix de tempos modérés."
