Asasello reloaded: after their breathtaking GENUIN debut, the four string quartet rebels are now going one better. For not only is their performing art sensational, but one is repeatedly left speechless over their choice of repertoire. And whoever might associate oriental with Seraglio romanticism and Janissary music is barking up the wrong tree entirely. Challenging, passionate and without compromise, the works of this CD utterly besiege us. Views from the Orient and onto the Orient by Atac Sezer, Matthias Pinscher and the grand old man of Turkish music, Ahmed Adnan Saygun: Sensational!

"The Asasello Quartet takes on these works with verve."

Fanfare
"There is a yearning quality to the long, high lines of the Adagio, genuine excitement in the bustle of the last movement, and an attractive quirkiness to the Allegretto. I have fallen for this piece absolutely ... the Cologne-based Swiss Asasello Quartet are technically excellent, and bring total commitment and belief to every note they play."
