The excellent Sacconi Quartet
Barry Millington, CD of the Week, The Evening Standard, 28th July 2006 Naxos CD – Finzi By Footpath and Stile
The Sacconi’s performance of Britten’s Second Quartet had genuine substance, combined with a seemingly effortless command of the composer’s difficult string-writing.
Matthew Rye, The Daily Telegraph, 12th April 2006 London International String Quartet Competition Finals, Wigmore Hall, 9th April 2006
This might be playing with an element of the freshness and impetuosity of youth, but it is also playing with a depth of understanding.
Rowena Smith, The Herald, 16th August 2006 Royal Overseas League, Edinburgh, 14th August 2006
An exceptional ensemble with sharp ears, a unanimous sense of musical breath and a meticulous attention to details.
Beautifully well-balanced playing, delicate, serious and formal.
Enthralling and engaging performance.
Manus Carey, Musical Opinion, May-June 2006 Kirckman Concert Society, Wigmore Hall, 15th February 2006
The festival sensation, the young Sacconi Quartet completely bowled over a packed audience. The chemistry between these four young players is tangible and magical.
The Sacconi met these challenges with complete assurance, immersing themselves at the deepest levels, yet putting the music across with a freshness and simplicity that completely absorbed the listener.
