"The Mozart Piano Quartet plays both quartets with considerable élan, evoking the spirit of their namesake in Saint-Saëns's beautifully balanced, often gossamer textures. Where power is required, though, as in the outer movements of op.41, they respond with assurance. The delightful make weight of the Barcarolle completes a splendid disc."
