According to Alan Artner, writing in the Chicago Tribune, "Few other recorded performances have had qualities of tone conveying as beautifully the scores' ripe, fibrillating atmosphere."[2] Daniel Webster, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, wrote that " In traditional repertoire, the Kronos Quartet has its own distinctive voice. It plays Liszt's romantic elegy, 'At the Grave of Richard Wagner,' with rich, dark sounds. The performance of Berg's 'String Quartet (Op. 3)' is precise and the quartet makes Webern's 'Five Pieces (Op 5). sound easy to play as the compositions seem to appear magically, shift color and vanish."[1]
