Collaborations Review
The Berlin
Piano Quartet

"(They) played with style, aristocratic spaciousness, and elegance. The musicians' elasticity of phrasing was a joy to hear. A memorable performance ... Here was the essence of great chamber music playing ... glorious ... (the players) seemed to be driven by an internal musical flame. All of the music's gypsy fire ... was projected with panache and brio ... (They received) a standing, cheering ovation."
- Coral Gables Gazette
"Pianist Tao Lin was technically secure throughout, evincing delicacy in Mozart’s Andante and fire in Brahms; the latter was commendable for the clean tone and lack of extraneous notes, even during the most hectic passages. "
