"The Rossetti's tone had a sensual finish, and its phrasing practically palpitated with ardor and mystery."
~ Washington Post

"The scherzo was volcanic and thrilling, and hearing it performed by this group in that resonant hall was about as good as it gets."   - Mozart, Shostakovich, Beethoven concert review, PIEDMONT POST, April 25, 2012

"When the Rossetti offered their one encore, the slow movement, Adagio, from Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 44, No. 3, the enthusiastic audience felt thoroughly sated by a course of rough, raw, but elegantly ennobled music here complemented by a lullaby of extraordinary pathos."   - Mozart, Shostakovich, and Beethoven concert review, THE CLASSICAL MUSIC GUIDE, April 22, 2012

"The Rossetti String Quartet, making a welcome return visit to the Mozart Society on April 30, 2010, reveled in the lively acoustic of All Saints' Church, Carmel, and gave vividly characterized performances of quartets by Haydn, Mozart, and Dvořák."   - Carmel Mozart Society, Peninsula Reviews, May 1, 2010
