"With this recording, the Arete Quartet offers an exemplary interpretation. In their realization, they have entered with impressive insight into the multifaceted emotional world of Janáček."
— Günter Pichler, 1st Violinist of the Alban Berg Quartett"Their performances reveal a deep respect for the composer's intentions, conveyed through logical structure and a unified ensemble sound of remarkable precision. [...] In their interpretation of Janáček, Arete Quartet sets a reference point from which even Czech ensembles may draw inspiration."
