" I am impressed by their performance, which showed the highest international standard. Not often do I hear performances of such an artistic and musical level. It demonstrates four musicians who are individually masters of their instruments, at the same time showing the highest skills of an ensemble playing. I wish The Zwaag Piano Quartet every success, so that many listeners can enjoy their inspirational playing.” Boris Belkin, Violin
