Michael Torke's about the Amstel Quartet
Michael Torke is one of the members of the Committee of Recommendation of the Amstel Quartet. This is what he thinks of Amstel:
"A kick-ass group, the Amstel Quartet plays my music like no other quartet in the
world. They have a fluidity, especially performing without music, that brings out
phrasing I didn't know existed."

"I very much enjoyed coaching the Amstel Quartet; during our sessions I became familiar with music that I would not have heard otherwise, and also learned the expressive potential of four saxophones when played by virtuosos such as these"
Eugene Drucker
