What The Critics Are Saying
- Return to Media Kit
“The musicians are a unified force that shows…brilliant playing.”
–San Francisco Classical Voice
“…a gut-wrenching performance, building toward that fierce, beyond-the-speed-limit, trillion-noted fourth movement; Mussumeli left the stage flopping her right hand in the air, as if to cool it off.
–San Jose Mercury News
“…it is apparent that the Ives Quartet is an undeniably talented group of musicians.”
–Buffalo News
“The Ives’s arresting sound was again on display: robust, rigorous and beautifully blended.”
–San Jose Mercury News
“Unveiling a warm, smooth approach laid over a taut but not rigid attitude toward rhythm.”
–Buffalo News
“performed with a super-refinement that kept breaking out into a visceral, almost rock ‘n’ roll intensity.”
–San Jose Mercury News
“The Ives Quartet more than lived up to their name, playing Ives’ own Second Quartet with all the required force and grit, not minding the dissonances and extreme difficulties, and embracing the quirkiness that, a hundred years after its creation, still leaves listeners in awe.
–San Francisco Classical Voice
“…you certainly do not want to miss this fantastic group.”
–Trinity Tripod
