Their recordings are always polished, but with a cold clinical perfection that does very little for me. The picture above seems to capture the spirit of the group--stylish, and I mean that in the worst sort of way, self assured, but forbiddingly cold. It looks like a portrait of four people in a room who've never met each other. I'm more partial to the Quatuor Mosaique's recordings, or even the Lindsays who may not be able to play in tune, but who can at least communicate.
