About
“Not only our most prominent symphonist, Matthews leads the way in maintaining the time-honoured genre of the string quartet...” – The Sunday Times, 6 June 2010 (TOCC 0058: Vol.1)
“It reinforces the view that, Robert Simpson apart, he is probably the most important British quartet composer of recent decades...The Kreutzer Quartet (…) are at the very top of their game in expounding this important and masterly score. I have no hesitation in recommending this disc.” – BBC Music Magazine, October 2012, *****5/5 (TOCC 0059: Vol.2)
“[Quartet No. 1] appears influenced by Schoenberg, Bartók and, in some of its aphoristic yet highly expressive melodic fragments, Janáček. Quartet No. 2 (1974-76) is more 'of its time'” – BBC Music Magazine, March 2015, ****4/5 stars (TOCC 0060: Vol.3)
“a tremendous achievement” – The Observer, 21 February 2015 (TOCC 0318: Vol.4)
