    Each piece has its own feeling and character. This is a wonderful album, highly recommended
    Lynn René Bayley, The Art Music Lounge
    The four young musicians have succeeded in recording Dalberg's music with a warm and exquisite sound, which at the same time exudes temperament and necessity. And it is truly entertaining.

    Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad
    Elegant, effortless, and supple

    This is the ideal introduction to Bentzon
