“The Kronos Quartet are certainly doing their bit to bring Martynov's music to a wider audience. This disc starts with a wonderfully controlled and projected string arrangement of one of Martynov's best-known works - the elegant, uplifting choral setting of the Beatitudes...It's an effective combination of directness and understatement” --Gramophone Magazine, April 2012

“Considering the CV of the Greek god Kronos — he castrated his father, married his sister and swallowed and regurgitated five of his children — the music played here by the Kronos Quartet is a definite anomaly. It floats quietly and radiates contemplation...Along the way there’s always interest in the cool Kronos sound, tempered here by period touches of slippery portamento.” --The Times, 27th January 2012 ***
