They recorded for EMI Classics across nearly a decade, between 2000 and 2009, bringing about tremendous versions of quartets by Schubert, Britten, Bartók, and Mozart, to name a few."The Belcea Quartet throw every fibre of their beings into the most vivid projection of the masterpieces they undertake." - The Independent"These recordings form a crucial part of our life as a quartet and we hope that over the ensuing years they haven't lost their freshness and sense of adventure." - Krzysztof Chorzelski, violist of the Belcea Quartet

Let customers speak for us
from 2001 reviewsThis owl is beautiful and certainly better than I'd imagined. Love it.
I've made a journey back to the vinyl records by buying a turntable and amplifier and decided to purchase the division bell on vinyl by pink Floyd as it's one of the best albums I've ever heard..
Great product, quick delivery
Well packed and delivered. Everything as described.
Brought this to go with a Brio train set that was already purchased and the gift receiver loved it.
Had to wait a day or 2 extra so they could get the items in but then I had a quick delivery. Good communications with the seller. Would recommend
I was able to purchase a sealed copy of this long deleted rare edition of album Avonmore via Yachew who shipped it promptly. Their price was the best online.
Can't believe I got this for only £15!
Arrived in good time and was packaged well as expected, as well as a great album so thanks for the quality service.
Love the album, was packaged very well and arrived in good time as well as being kept up-to date along the way.
Great price. Great communication. Fast and secure delivery. Would use again. Happy to recommend.
