The concept is a collection of single movements for quartet, hopefully providing a certain amount of contrast, and Signum certainly accomplishes that feat.

The Signum Quartet shows itself adaptable to each style of performance required for these works, of which the most challenging musically and technically is Wolfgang Rihm’s 1993 piece. This seems to consist primarily…of sharply etched spiccato and pizzicato figures, and Signum does a marvelous job of handling the technical difficulties while still making it sound like music. They do an excellent job of holding the structure of the piece together.

This is a remarkably fine and interesting disc, well worth the exploration. © 2012 Fanfare Read complete review

This is the second disc for Capriccio by the mainly-German Signum Quartet. It follows a well-received recital of String Quartets by the underrated Austrian composer Ludwig Thuille…

Both discs open with Hugo Wolf’s sunny, celebrated ‘Italian’ Serenade, and both include Anton Webern’s hauntingly beautiful Langsamer Satz (‘Slow Movement’). The Alfama recital included a couple of surprise treats for the listener, youthful pieces not typical of the later, famous master: Rachmaninov’s Romance in G minor and Schoenberg’s Schubertian Presto in C.

Wolfgang Rihm’s own Quartettsatz is actually a full quartet, his Ninth…is a typically imaginative, episodic, invigorating piece full of late

This is my first time hearing the mostly German Signum Quartet…and I am very impressed with their playing. Their spacious and expressive reading of the Puccini Crisantemi is one of the finest I have heard. Their Wolf is light and balanced, and their Schubert is exquisite. The balance of this recording of Quartet Movements challenges the imagination in delightful and surprising ways. © 2012 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide
