| Review | "The Wihan Quartet brings all their terrific qualities of crisp ensemble, rich textures and sensitivity to detail to these fine pieces. The recording is very fine and there are excellent booklet notes from the composer." theclassicalreviewer.blogspot.co.uk “American composer William Zinn has written for a richly diverse array of forces, his work list is now extensive, and as a violinist he has an executant-composer’s acuteness as to the appropriateness of things. Throughout, the Wihan Quartet proves masterly ambassadors for the music and the notes are by the composer himself.” Jonathan Woolf, musicweb-international.com 'The sound is very good and the Wihan Quartet from Czechoslovakia are first class and we must hear more from them. They have made recordings of Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorak and Smetana and these recording should be pursued.' COPYRIGHT David C F Wright DMus 2014, wrightmusic.net 'This sumptuous and earnest music is an intensely concentrated blend of Bachian grandeur and Beethovenian gravitas.'
