There was certainly nothing uncivilized about the assured performance of the Escher quartet (founded in 2005), three of whose players stood and seemed entirely at ease on their feet. The individual and sometimes concertolike playing of the four young musicians was notable for its polish and tonal beauty.

"The group combined ripe tonal balances with the kind of heedless intensity that comes with youth."

— San Francisco Chronicle

And the Escher quartet is excellent...the group was polished and rhythmically vibrant, lively without being rough, light yet present in two Mendelssohn works and ever so slightly stouter and more intense in two by Schumann.
