REVIEWS

“The Apollon Musagete String Quartet (ARD-prizewinner in 2008) is made up of young and dynamic soloists whose absolute professionalism, commitment and passion make them fully equal to the challenges of the string quartet repertoire: their ensemble playing is in another league from the standards generally offered by run-of-the-mill orchestral quartets.” (Augsburger Allgemeine, May 2009)

“The four young gentlemen of the Polish Apollon Musagete Quartet offered highly cultivated string quartet-playing and also presented two less well-known works from the treasure trove of their repertoire.” (Badisches Tagblatt, May 2009)
