"The group's selling point is its use of gut strings ... for the Eroica tonal colour is a particular priority ..."
- Gramophone
"... there is extraordinary clarity to each part and to the ensemble’s playing as a whole. Owing in large part to the gut strings, there is also a sweetness to the Eroica’s sound that is quite appealing and appropriate for these scores.''
- Fanfare
Released to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Debussy’s birth in 2012, this album represents the first modern recording of Debussy and Ravel string quartets performed on gut strings and employing authentic period performance techniques. Over many years the Eroica Quartet has successfully established itself as a pioneering group in the rediscovery of 19th century performance styles by directly challenging modern assumptions about music from the era.
