Review in the The Cincinnati Enquirer
October 7 performance for Chamber Music Cincinnati with
guest pianist
Awadagin Pratt
“A
marvelous performance by the Daedalus Quartet and pianist Awadagin
Pratt. ... The Daedalus musicians brought out the emotion in this
work [Haydn, Op. 20, No. 5] while demonstrating smooth, elegant
phrasing and incredible lightness of tone. ... The finale [of the
Brahms piano quintet] showcased the tremendous emotional power of these
musicians, from the swelling, sobbing opening to the ecstatic
conclusion.”

Review in the Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk)
September 15 performance for the Feldman Chamber Music
Society
“Without
even a hint of technical
insecurity to hold it back, the quartet delved into every aspect of the
music, bringing out the smallest details, even if they were hidden in
the texture. But the ultimate goal was to put these details
together, keeping a perfect balance between the instruments to build a
powerful musical and emotional experience.”
