The quartet has been described by the New York Times as having “an unusually elegant sound—they boil over with an edge-of-the-seat eagerness” and recently by the West Palm Beach daily as having “a highly polished, unified sound … able to persuasively render the myriad subtleties of quartet composition”.

After a Tanglewood performance, Classical Review reported that the ensemble can “showcase the cello in its range of octaves, sonic possibilities, and tonal colors” making mention that “Alexandre Lecarme gave lovely voice to the melodic line, flowing song in legato style with phrasing and articulation worthy of a Baroque soprano”.
Mr. Lecarme has participated at the Pablo Casals, Domaine Forget, Kneisel Hall and Norfolk Chamber Music Festivals and collaborated with Roman Totenberg, Seymour Lipkin, and members of the Tokyo String Quartet.
Mr. Lecarme has released CDs for Hammond GMAC Performing Arts of works by Bach, Debussy, Schubert, Beethoven, Franck and Rachmaninov. Mr. Lecarme performs on a cello made by José Contreras in 1746, generously on loan from the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
