– Norway´s Vertavo Quartet, whose members are in their mid-thirties, proved they don´t need the concessions allowed to young players. This is simply a high-quality ensemble, age apart. The group showed dedication, technical skill and, above all, great imagination…a seamless range of communal expression, from boldness and rigour to rich vibrancy and elastic phrasing.
