"The Lafayette Quartet is certainly one of the many ensembles with fine sound,
excellent intonation and crackerjack ensemble precision, but what sets them apart is a
level of musical insight that is reserved to very few ensembles. With the Lafayette, you
really get the sense that they play Beethoven, as the saying has it, "Beethoven's way."
And the same goes for many other great composers whose work they have illuminated for us,
year in and year out." (Jan Narveson, Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society)
