"They listen to one another and adjust instinctively to produce a sound of strikingly beautiful, luminescent quality that invariably serves the music with grace, sophistication and vibrancy."

--New York Times

"The Prize winning Audubon Quartet ...displayed glowing musicality Sunday night at the National Gallery of Art."

--Washington Post

"The Audubon members played American Dreams like inspired demons, with splendid technical command, a big, vibrant ensemble tone and an infectious sense of pleasure."

--Los Angeles Times

"Playing with lightness and bounce, they produced a transparent timbre that allowed all voices to be heard with clarity...the players' close agreement on matters of phrasing, articulation and dynamics gave their interpretation splendid unity."

--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"The players have strong backgrounds, the best training and credentials, and they complement each other wonderfully. While each is a personality, his tone connects or meets the tone of the others, a conscious achievement, I'm sure."

--San Francisco Chronicle

"The Audubon played up, and then some, to the standards of its previous performance here, lavishing tone and rhetoric on the Mendelssohn and on Webern's early opus in late-romantic style. The most austere but no less heartfelt Shostakovich was brilliantly detailed and warmly phrased."

--Richmond Times Dispatch
