Alianza String Quartet newsAlianza Quartet Carnegie Hall debut reviews! The matching of talent makes or breaks a new string quartet, and the young Alianza players seem on an equal level. They have evidently worked scrupulously on blending and balance, and as befits their time of life, they boil over with an edge-of-the-seat eagerness … The Alianza players are musical, well trained and have an unusually elegant sound. I do not fear for their future. Bernard Holland The Alianza started off with precise and clean playing and elegant phrasing (something one would expect from a quartet mentored by the Tokyo String Quartet) … this quartet won me over with its rock-steady intonation, burnished sound and lively, characterful playing. I especially liked the tricky Andante scherzando second movement played at a tempo more propulsive than usual and the Allegro finale was played with real relish.
