Reviews:

“Tantalus has a passion in their playing; a fantastic array of bold colors, intricate textures, and strong gestures.  They have athleticism as well as delicate, sensitive attention to finely woven musical material.”
- Edie Hill, Composer

“One of the most vivacious ensembles on the concert platform”
- Sungmin Shin, Soundboard

“The quartet is capable of delivering a strong, nuanced and textured performance with compelling dynamics and a beautiful sound, offset by a presentation that is quippish and cute at moments, coming across well-oiled and calculated in effect.”
- Julia Crowe, Classical Guitar

“Great ensemble playing….Their arrangements are clever and well-chosen, their programming is diverse and original, and their easy camaraderie on stage is charming.”
- Richard Long, Soundboard

“Extremely imaginative recording of some rare works…beautiful moments of sheer magic…one of the best things I have heard in ages!”
- Chris Dumigan, Classical Guitar, London

“One of the hottest guitar quartets in the country”
- Travis Whitehead, Brownsville Herald

“[Tantalus Quartet is] breaking new ground in terms of their aesthetic. The angst is back…they’re fun like driving around too fast on a borrowed Ducati. Think LAGQ on steroids (when steroids had a good connotation).”
- Andrew Hull, Rosewood Review

“[Tantalus Quartet] reveled in the lightening-fast passages and played with perfect ensemble in the expressive moments. They emerged as a charismatic quartet of international class.”
- Jan Baseroll, Reinischer Post (Germany)
