"The Oslo Camerata�s performance is so compelling, so full of life and spirit and energy, and so well recorded, that you may well fall in love with the piece. It is played in a string-orchestra transcription that rivets your attention throughout. Total unanimity of style, a huge dynamic range and a hyper-expressive approach to the music without ever exceeding the bounds of good taste are the hallmarks of the 19-member Camerata. Two substantial movements meant for a later Grieg quartet and Arne Nordheim�s Rendezvous, music of stark beauty and riveting intensity, complete the program. Naxos�s sparkling-clear, glowing, full-bodied sound is so immediate that it almost takes on a life of its own." --Fanfare, November 2012
"Edvard Grieg�s G minor string quartet�has not achieved the popularity that it surely deserves. Here, as a veritable �symphony for strings�, especially in this gutsy, ferocious performance, it makes an unforgettable impression.
Arne Nordheim�s Rendezvous�manages to be at once contemporary, passionate, and quite moving. As with the Grieg, the performances are splendid: bold, confident, ideally balanced, and quite wonderfully recorded." --ClassicsToday.com, February 2012
