"The Amati Quartet presented itself in the best of form… Frankfurter Allgemeine

"They played with a well-rounded tone, subtle dynamics and close coordination, and when they got to the slow movement (Beethoven op. 59, 2) they made it a unified serenely beautiful statement…" The Washington Post

"...inspired interpreters..." Neue Zuercher Zeitung

"Exhilaratingly polished performances" Los Angeles Times

"The Amatis achieved the extraordinary." Muenchner Merkur

"...a concert by the Amati String Quartet was a model of its kind...an afternoon of consummate music-making." Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

"The calling card of the Amati: a softly dark, but transparent sound. On the bottom a carpet of wonderful poetic sonority and warmth that lights up very suddenly with fiery figures. With unbelievable directness, they speed up the tempo, then a sigh from the cello, and post-Wagner elegiac sounds fill the room, like heavy perfume." Muenchner Merkur

"The Amati is an outstanding ensemble. The four artists play with conviction and feeling. Their intelligent, perceptive interpretations give new meaning to the standard quartet literature and give modern works depth and, above all, personality. Quartet-playing of this caliber and integrity is few and far between." Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

"It is doubtless a first class string quartet…………" Berliner Morgenpost

"...immaculate intonation... the Amati Quartet made magic..." Stuttgarter Zeitung

"Their tone is extraordinarily beautiful and expressive; their rhythm and pacing are supple and poised, and their phrases have shape and direction without external show: the music flows out of them with natural spontaneity." Strings

"The Amati Quartet was more then equal to the challenges and demonstrated a through intellectual grasp of the works (Bartók No. 5) complex archlike structures. With their most impressive playing of the evening the musicians performed with the polish and expressive depth at least equal to the world’s most highly regarded quartets." Atlanta Constitution
