“(1st Sextet) revelling in the work’s glorious fullness, but of course The Lindsays and colleagues are able to put heart and soul into the music while keeping a careful control of the overall balance … wholehearted character of the playing is a big advantage … (They all) delight us with a range of the most beautiful, transparent sonorities … both sextets have a compelling sense of direction – in the Second’s magnificent first movement, we can feel what a giant young Brahms had become.” (Gramophone)
