… Robert et René continuent à proposer une sorte de free jazz fort roboratif, tonique en diable.

Chants et danses… with Strings! (CD) album review
The activities of Lepage and Lussier — quirkily proficient in clarinet and guitar respectively — are exquisitely complemented by Bozzini’s strings…

Chants et danses… with Strings! (CD) album review
At times haunting and tense, their sound is also unadorned, unaffected and exquisite.

Christopher Butterfield: Trip (CD) album review
Overall an extremely satisfying release — absorbing music incisively performed by Quatuor Bozzini.

De souffles et de machines, un album qui donne un nouveau souffle à la formule du quatuor de saxophones.

The sonic narrative on track ten […] sums up the duo’s interaction most succulently, politically and meaningfully.

Drifter (2 × CD) album review
Les musiques d’Urnos sont la réponse de temps ancrés dans le présent d’un passé fantasmé à la beauté tumultueuse et captivante. Un opus d’ethno-musique poétique aux courbes utopiques hanté par l’imagination et le désir de faire rêver. Intriguant.
Roland Torres, SilenceAndSound, March 15, 2017
Les musiques d’Urnos (CD) album review
Since forming in 1999, Montréal’s Quatuor Bozzini have steadily ascended to become not only one of the most daring string quartets in Canada, but in the entire world. The consistently bring both an exquisite touch and a refined sensibility to music that demands invisible rigor.

The Montreal-based Quatuor Bozzini are ideal interpreters of Clementi’s music. […] Champions of new music performance at a high level, with an international reputation and their own Collection QB recording label, this is an ensemble well worth experiencing.

Simon Martin: Hommage à Leduc, Borduas et Riopelle (CD) album review
These various canons and other pieces, ranging in date from 1968 to 2005, brought a deathly pallor to my skin, induced short breathing, and made me dream of wandering 19th-century parlours with no windows and heavy green wallpaper everywhere.
