5 Stars for ‘Hearth’ in BBC Music Magazine

Miró Quartet’s new festive album, Hearth, has been awarded a glowing five-star review in BBC Music Magazine, recognising both its imaginative programming and vibrant musicianship. The album brings a fresh, contemporary voice to seasonal favorites, balancing warmth and sparkle with the quartet’s unmistakable artistry.

The review highlights several standout moments: “Michi Wiancko’s Jingle Bells effervesces with playful pizzicato stylings. The shimmering tremolando snowscape Alex Berko summons for In the Bleak Midwinter is another highlight, as is Hyung-ki Joo’s pot-pourri of over 20 seasonal tunes […] The playing is superbly fresh and communicative.”
