… A hushed section arrives for solo violin, high in its register, answered by the rest of the quartet before the music [of Elie Wiesel (A Portrait)] continues, full of emotion, so finely brought out by the Wihan Quartet…
…
“…[Kol Nidrei Memorial] opens high in the strings before a sad theme arrives with the Wihan Quartet extracting some fine, terse timbres…”
This is a distinctive and finely constructed work that rises in drama and emotion with some rich, fine playing from the Quartet.
“The Wihan Quartet brings all their terrific qualities of crisp ensemble, rich textures and sensitivity to detail to these fine pieces. The recording is very fine and there are excellent booklet notes from the composer.”
