“Kreisler and Korngold … both shared the same Viennese musical roots and both fled Vienna for the USA to escape Nazi persecution. Also, both of the string quartets presented here possess a haunting Viennese nostalgia. Kreisler's Quartet is a delightful discovery containing much memorable melodic material … many impressive moments … Korngold's is a later work, of a Vienna gone for ever. As ever, his melodic gifts are prolific throughout. The Angeles Quartet are exceptionally fine and committed throughout… highly recommendable” (Gramophone)
