Critical Acclaim
"The Lydians are fine players, full of dramatic charge and integrated to perfection."
-- The Daily Telegraph (London, England)
"The Lydian Quartet seems to have arrived at its prime, finding a balance between instinct and intellect, exploration and experience, brains and heart."
-- The Boston Globe
"The Lydians approached the works sensitively and with the full range of tone, from warmth to brashness, that the contemporary literature demands."
-- The New York Times
