​"The encore was an over-the-top arrangement of Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze. As the four members of the T’ang Quartet ditched their strings to join the kitchen department, one was left with the suspicion that string players, like pianists, are percussionist wannabes after all."
The Straits Times, 2013

"你敢不敢赌一把?唐四重奏邀观众赌一场对乐团的信心。来临的这场音乐会不设主题,不透露曲目,组团21年的唐四重奏不改爱玩个性,邀观众同乐。"
​Lianhe Zaobao, 2013

"Last Saturday, attired in loose-fitting greyish coats by Depression – which made them look like Confederate extras in a Gettysburg movie set – the four played sitting on mismatched chairs by Grafunkt. This was typical of their attention-seeking style, but their vision in music making remains undimmed. Their 21st anniversary concert, as the title suggested, comprised wholly of Bohemian and Czech repertoire."
The Straits Times, 2013

"唐四重奏向来以创意性的音乐会曲目设计著名,这次也不负众望,将斯特拉文斯基,沃恩威•廉斯和弗兰克•布里奇的弦乐,与德彪西和拉威尔德曲目安排在一起。相比其他演奏者,大概要属这四人最熟悉在画作的陪伴下演奏。"

*****
"With its sharp dissonances and hairpin dynamic turns were adroitly negotiated, the heat of the moment saw cellist Tan turning a wrong page. While lesser musicians would have panicked and stopped dead, he coolly and calmly played his way back into the score, culminating in a brilliant finish. The joys and perils of chamber music have seldom been more vividly realised."
The Straits Times, 2010

"William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the tragedy of ill-fated love caught in a family feud, has spawned much good music over the centuries. That was the subject of this successful collaboration between Singapore's T'ang Quartet and the United States' Boston Brass which kept one transfixed and enraptured for almost two hours."
The Straits Times, 2011

"The latest concert had mortality and vitality as unifying themes, the result of which was an unusually stirring outing with modern classics."
Today, 2011

"四人一致认为,死板地将乐曲堆砌成一张节目单是不够的,一个“让人们好奇”的题目能够吸引听众。这一次,刚从爱丁堡国际艺术节演出归来的唐四重奏选择了比以往更加吸睛的“死亡”主题,但所呈现的四个作品并非一味的黑暗,而是多角度展现生命与死亡."

*****
"Flashes of inspired synchronicity that fired the senses into overdrive, even euphoria."
The Scotsman, 2007

"The T'ang Quartet's rhythmic delivery was exceptionally tight and sharp…' their command of timbre and internal balance seemed ideal…'making the music sound as fresh as it had been written yesterday …"
The Irish Times, June 2006

"This ​ensemble is outstanding. Unanimity of attack is uncanny, and intonation and internal balance both impress greatly. These are plainly minds which share a wavelength."
The Evening Standard, March 2005

"…a fine-toned, well-balanced, thoughtfully blended ensemble without a weak link – and with an excellent sense of style…"
The Strad, June 2005

"Quartet plays with zing of confidence… a smooth sheen to the sound… this quartet is its own master and commands that organic unity."
The Australian, April 2001

"★★★ out of 4 Stars. …the T'ang Quartet brought more emotion and a greater sense of risk to its program that ultimately left me more exhilarated.…the T'ang is blessed with an incisive point of view."
Detroit Free Press, February 2000"

​"…played by the astounding T'ang Quartet…with such confidence, bravura and charisma that they won the largest ovation of the Tanglewood Festival…"
Boston Globe, July 2002

"Arguably Singapore's finest strings to date, the quartet took Britain's exacting audiences by storm this year with a glowing debut at London's vaunted Wigmore Hall, notching near-perfect scores from at least three music reviewers. Their Wigmore turn also had the BBC gushing about their prowess, so much so that the foursome will be recording a few BBC shows in the New Year, besides debuting in Ireland. They launched their debut album, The Art Of War, in May. British classical arbiter Strad magazine called it "sensational" and named it CD Of The Month in September."
The Straits Times, 2005
