"Brahms's First Piano Quartet - the one that received the attentions of Arnold Schoenberg (love it or hate it) - has attracted some of the great pianists: Emil Gilels, Arthur Rubinstein, Rudolf Serkin, Murray Perahia, and now Martha Argerich form a veritable constellation of stars. Here is a performance that grows in stature from the sheer luminosity of the playing. One of those amazing comings together of great musicians." -- Gramophone [Editor's Choice, 4/2004]
“Argerich is a pianistic marvel, effortlessly dispensing tumultuous energy and temperament, but this ensemble lacks interpretative and recorded focus.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2012 ****
