“The Southwest String Quartet showed that they are excellent role models. Focused but light and relaxed by nature, they brought playing of precision, life and rich glowing tone to the works by Haydn, Dvorak, Peter Schickele and Vivaldi. Both in the music making and in the engaging way in which they spoke with the crowd about the music, the foursome projected to all in the audience a sense of how beautiful, challenging and fulfilling playing chamber music can be.”
