"Of four living composers here, one is less well known. Like the Borusan Quartet itself, Hasan Uçarsu (born 1965) is Turkish. His String Quartet No 2 "The Untold" consists of two short, pensive outer movements - called epilogue and prologue - and two questing, energetic central movements full of Anatolian folk inspiration ... A fascinating, engagingly played quartet of quartets".

"Estiske Arvo Pärts middelalderlige, kirkelige væven forbrødrer sig med amerikanske Philip Glass' indisk inspirerede trancemusikform også kaldet minimalisme og tyrkiske Hasan Ucarsu vælger at bevæge sig ud på de anatolske sletter ... Fælles for hele repertoiret ... er en fascinerende distance ... Overordnet holder den meget velspillende kvartet mere standarden end musikken ... Udgivelsens hovedværk ... er Peteris Vasks' Strygekvartet nr. 4. Et meget kraftfuldt og til tider skærende smukt værk ... Sådan lander Borusan Kvartetten hele udgivelsen succesfuldt og alt i alt er man glad for hele rejsen".

"This is a delectable programme on paper but, when you come to listen, it can feel a little thin ... Vasks's quartet ... is unquestionably the main course ... They play with exceptionally tight blend and are consistently rooted, knowing where they are going and heading there without histrionics ... We're hearing a fine quartet here, and one whose idea of how to make (and make up) a record clearly has potential".
