Described as "the quartet world's most distinguished ensemble," the Borodin Quartet celebrated its 65th anniversary with a sold-out concert at the Wigmore Hall, London, a week before this live recording from the Cité de la Musique in Paris. Following the performance the Financial Times wrote that "today's Borodin Quartet has lost nothing of its old authority." The quartet plays with warmth, commitment and obvious enjoyment.
