“The pleasant feel of a live recital”

From Chestnut Hill Local (Michael Caruso):
“The Dvorák is a masterpiece and the Wister plays it masterfully.”
From [Camden] Courier Post (Robert Baxter):
“Playing of symphonic breadth and richness characterizes the Wister’s account of Dvorák’s String Quartet No. 13 in G Major. The musicians give an affecting account of the sorrowful adagio but also achieve brilliant effects in the other movements. The Wister Quartet’s [live] performances are characterized by big, vibrant sound and aggressive playing. Thos qualities leap out from the compact disc in the Wister’s fearless account of the Liszt Mephisto waltz. The Wister Quartet surmounts the extraordinary technical challenges in Devich’s transcription in a reading notable for its furious rhythmic drive and fiercely concentrated playing. DTR captures the performance in spacious digital sound.”
