Reviews:
“They’re typical Vienna Octet performances: warm, middle-of-the-road interpretations overlaid with a surfeit of charm, now more a souvenir of a well-loved group than a viable first choice for contemporary collectors…Alfred Boskovsky plays with an ingratiatingly warm, liquid tone whose midrange lacks ideal color.” Classics Today review
