整张唱片充满了轻松, 浓醇又香甜的旋律, 小提琴与吉他的合奏是那么的优美, 散发出缕缕不绝的espresso咖啡香, 曲目中的"摩西"变奏曲, 常动曲更是令你陶醉。而韩剧"沙漏"更相中了此CD中令人难忘的旋律----第八,九首帕格尼尼的小提琴与吉他奏鸣曲第六号, 为"沙漏"剧的主旋律
德国 DG 公司的"4D"录音张张优秀，但这张又是"王中王"。沙汉姆的小提琴演绎绝妙、动听，将帕格尼尼技巧发挥得淋漓尽致，他用的意大利名琴高频纤细、透亮，琴声共鸣异常宏厚，而索谢尔的吉它声如玉珠落盘，虽然只有二把乐器，但音场却非常之宽阔。此碟发烧友应人手一张！
这张唱片录制于柏林著名的耶稣基督教堂，在此曾完成过不少出名的唱片，如卡拉扬60年代的贝多芬交响乐、库贝利克和柏林爱乐乐团的德沃夏克交响曲全集等。

《记事本-爱默生弦乐四重奏》When the Emerson String Quartet releases an album, one s expectation of excellence isn t met it s exceeded. The Emersons exploration of Czech chamber music on this new recording further burnishes a lustrous reputation. The Emersons perform at a superior level of intensity, integrity, energy, and commitment demonstrated since its formation in 1976. It now brings these qualities to the first two of Janácek s String Quartets and 3 Madrigals for violin and viola by Martinu. Intimate Letters (Quartet no. 2) is based on Janácek s letters to his muse, Kamila Stösslová. We are the fortunate beneficiaries of Janácek s unrequited passion! This passionate piece also plays a key role in the Daniel-Day Lewis film, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
