‘Revelations abound in this revival of Mendelssohn’s first thoughts on his Octet’
The Strad – 'The Strad Recommends'

‘Altogether it’s a splendid performance – a must for all who treasure this masterpiece.’
BBC Music Magazine (Chamber Disc of the Month)

'The Eroicas and friends also adopt 19th-century approaches to style, in terms of bowing, portamento and vibrato. The result is a performance as exhilarating musically as absorbing as it is musicologically'
Gramophone

'[...] the quality is astonishing [...] bringing all the excitement and energy of this youthful piece to life'
The Observer

'This scintillating performance gives us a fresh look at a work that has never lost its freshness'
Classical Ear

'The label's first disc is a remarkable coup [...] a beautifully played account'
International Record Review

'[A] promising new label [...] The recording is warm and rounded [...] The performance by the Eroica Quartet and friends was all that I had expected'
MusicWeb International

'Playing and recording throughout are of a very high quality, with the ensemble able to move with ease from a relaxed intimacy to near orchestral authority. For those who have loved the work for years this is an essential addition.'
