“Some almost delirious moments were audible. This quartet is capable of playing the most wonderful pianissimo while developing an extremely tender, warm aura – magnificent.”
Süddeutsche Zeitung

“One can understand this aural picture without hearing the songs – a true work of art!”
Münchner Merkur

“Magic moments at the Arkadien Festival: the audience hardly dared draw breath; the four musicians played so movingly, truly breathtaking! The four string instruments just merged into one another. At the end, we were held captive, both by Schubert and the magnificent playing of the quartet.”
Münchner Merkur

"The Voyager Quartet’s violist Andreas Höricht has arranged twelve songs from Schubert’s Winterreise for quartet and linked them with short, individual intermezzi.
Of course, the question arises whether one can easily do without Wilhelm Müller’s texts, without his poetry, in order to capture even approximately the mood of this monument of romantic music? One is reluctant to do so, but it works. Even Andreas Höricht’s four-part arrangement does not deprive this cycle of its melancholy and scary intimacy.
He takes up the gloomy and sad mood in all its nuances, and his colleagues in the quartet play Winterreise in such a way that the entire atmosphere could not have been better expressed in words The listener experiences the whole range of emotional states between hope, courage to face life, resignation, fear and foreboding of death. Everything is said – without words.
The Voyager Quartet masters this challenge with particular expressiveness and also incites to hear Franz Schubert’s Winterreise in its original version again."
