Reviews :
"Analogue Productions has followed up on their highly acclaimed series of 25 RCA Living Stereo SACDs with a smaller group of 9 Decca SACDs. ... Though Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet is obviously not a sonic showpiece, it was probably a good idea to include some well-known chamber music in this group of recordings." by Arthur Lintgen, The Absolute Sound, Feb. 8, 2019.
"The Vienna Octet's remake, recorded with Sir Clifford Curzon in 1957 when Boskovsky was still leading, is one of those gramophone classics difficult to knock off its perch." — Gramophone
