    I have MAD respect for Milena, holy SHIT she nailed the viola part. She was literally FLYING through the part I struggled with the most (4:16), and that's just amazing. I cried. Love you.

    I will add my voice to those praising the playing of the violist. She is more than up to the demands of this work, technically and musically. A fine group giving a wonderful performance of a masterpiece.

    What impresses me the most is how articulate they are with ever single phrase and every single note. They somehow achieve this collectively; something only a string quartet who’s played together for years can achieve. Phenomenal!!

    Best recording of Smetana so far, base on newer condenser microphones unlike the obsolete older mics. Also props to sound engineer for picking the over head placement as that won't record the breathing as much.

    Brano molto piacevole all'ascolto eseguito con sentimento e leggerezza. Anche se presenta un'influenza americana il motivo musicale mi richiama alla mente la serenità del paesaggio boemo che ho avuto modo di ammirare e vivere intensamente dall'interno durante uno splendido viaggio nel cuore di questo paese.
