    "Vital, gripping and relentlessly present music-making counter-balanced by yielding tenderness in the wonderful Martinu and Kapralova."
    Rob Barnett, Recordings of the Year 2006, Music Web International
    "The playing of the Kapralova Quartet here reaches to the stars..." (on ArcoDiva's recording of Kapralova's opus 8)
    Peter Herbert, Dvorak Society Newsletter 79 (April 2007): 31
    "The Quartet's new CD (Martinu-Kapralova-Suk) is remarkable both for its dramaturgy and artistic interpretation."
    Martin Flasar, Opus musicum, 2-3 (2006): 86.
    "The Kapralova (Quartet)'s performance (of Kapralova's String Quartet) out-points the Janacek Quartet on a valuable all-Kapralova CD [Studio Matous MK 0049-2 011]. The work registered favourably but in a rather generalised way with the Janacek (Quartet). In the present case it leaves the listener in no doubt that this is a special piece of music."
    Rob Barnett, MusicWeb
    "The playing throughout by the eponymous group is exemplary. I am sure they will have wanted to make an impression with this recording [ArcoDiva UP 0085-2 131] and that they surely do. A truly tremendous CD and one to which I shall frequently return."
    Peter Herbert, Bohuslav Martinu Discussion Group
    "The all-female Kapralova Quartet, who have by the way recorded their namesake's quartet, engage urgently and with convincing technical command with Schnittke's demanding creativity. The recording is exemplary."
    Rob Barnett, MusicWeb
    "Immensely accomplished performances..."
    Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb
    "Excellent interplay, perfect focus, impeccable rendition, inner strength - these are some of the ingredients that made this extraordinary concert one of the highlights of the chamber music series of the Prague Spring Festival. Kapralova Quartet's playing is truly remarkable..." "
    Lenka Foltynova, Harmonie 2002/08
    "One of the highlights of this year's [Prague Spring] festival."
    Miroslav Srnka, Harmonie 2002/07
    "The Kapralova Quartet plays with an overall sense of purpose and homogeneity that only top quartets achieve."
    Geoff Piper, Dvorak Society of Great Britain Newsletter
    "Their craftsmanship and refined interplay have been critically acclaimed."
    Hudebni rozhledy
    "Ideal interplay, rare spontaneity of musical expression"
    Roman Dykast, Lidove noviny [Czech national daily]
    "Unconventional interpretation"
    Lubomir Fendrych, Hudba a zvuk
