(Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)“The Leonkoro Quartet … has enormous stage presence, glows for the music, takes full risks and amazes with its empathy for the respective sound of the pieces”
(Süddeutsche Zeitung)“…the Leonkoro Quartet… has skyrocketed to the forefront of the string quartet world with a series of international competition victories. And rightly so, because the spirit of immediate freshness and fearlessness prevails here… the joy of virtuosic success and a rousing curiosity about the music to be played.”
