Notes & Reviews:

American Record Guide, July / August 2012
Mozart was a great child prodigy who went on, as we all know, to become one of the greatest composers. This album gives us a welcome opportunity to watch some of his development. In the 13 early quartets, Mozart can be observed working in a three-movement form born out of the cassations and small divertimentos so popular at the time. One of the best of the three-movement quartets is No. 4 in C, whose first movement offers some appealing duet writing for the violins and some of the composer's most attractive melodic passages, plus a presto finale that bubbles with happiness.
