The 2011 Gramophone Classical Music Guide has singled out the Fine Arts Quartet's Fauré Quintets CD on Naxos for 3 distinctions:
1. "Gramophone award-winner and recording of legendary status"
2. "Simply the best: An unrivalled version, a cornerstone of the catalogue. A real gem!"
3. One of Gramophone 2011 Guide's top 100 recordings
According to Gramophone: "Ideally balanced and recorded, Cristina Ortiz and the Fine Arts Quartet offer performances that are warmly affectionate, fluent and musicianly to the core. Surpassing Domus's fine Hyperion disc, these are outstanding readings and Ortiz is memorably sensitive to Faure's subtle and intricate piano-writing."
