| "It is a tribute to Mr Palmer's sureness of vision and the Sorrels' playing that this work was in no sense dwarfed by the works of Haydn, Mozart and Shostakovitch" (Roger Jones reviewing Cheltenham Festival performance of String Quartet No. 2: La Maestà) | ||||
| "The string quartet clearly has a future, with people writing music like that for it" (letter from Julian Rushton, following a performance of String Quartet No. 4: after Haydn) | ||||

Kokonaisvaikutelma
kolmiosaisesta teoksesta painottui itämaisten sointien suuntaan,
joka varmaankin johtuu säveltäjän suosimista intervalleista. Seesteiset
elementit vuorottelivat särmikkäämpien kanssa… Konsertossa fagotilla
oli myös hienosti soivia laulavia jaksoja. (Susanna
Parikka, Lapin Kansa) |
