Max handles the quartet medium with confidence and individuality. Challenging and complex, the three movements are strikingly differentiated in tenor and technique, the musical language dissonant and searching… the Tippett Quartet persuasively conveyed the music’s searing harmonic intensity and precise timbral effects’
