The album Bohemia Express by the St. George Quintet received a complimentary review in Gramophone, written by by Richard Bratby.
Some quotes:
‘The St George Quintet are a smart, musicianly team with a clean ensemble sound and a deft, springy rhythmic sense. There’s a Beethoven-like energy to the scherzos in both the main works here…’
‘The guilelessness with which the cello and bass feel their way through the opening bars of Janáček’s fifth-movement Adagio made me smile.’
‘… this is an engaging and enjoyable disc.’
‘… a performance of Suk’s St Wenceslas Meditation in which the ensemble’s blend of tension, deliberation and expressive understatement seems to find exactly the right balance of tragedy and pride.’
