“Their playing has the verve and gut-wrenching rhythmic drive associated with the greatest Argentinian bands… here is the tango, raw, intoxicating, speaking with its true voice.” – Financial Times on Tango Siempre.
“…the well-tempered, note-perfect string quartet shifted through romance, irony and despair on the point of a pin… they impressively integrated classical textures with jazz delivery.” (*****) Mike Hobart, Financial Times on the Sigamos String Quartet.
“This is the most exquisite album I have heard this year.” – Keith Bruce, Scotland Herald, on the Sigamos String Quartet’s 2010 album with Robert Wyatt.
