CD ReviewsSimply the best Jae | 10/13/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This recording is the finest of I heard of Schubert's piano trios. As a huge fan of Schubert's piano trios, this recording is a MUST-HAVE. Other recordings tend to have a bit faster tempo, understandable considering the length of the piece, which often make the lyrical passages of Schubert overlooked. This recording has the best and most reasonable, IMO, tempos, and you can easily tell that these musicians deeply understand and enjoy playing the masterpieces. These three musicians' ensemble is also quite exceptional. Mature artists Ashkenazy, Zukerman, and underrated Harrell play these pieces with ease and by heart. Zukerman doesn't try to overshadow everyone, which often happens with violinists, and rather follows the flow set by the piano, which is how piano trios should be done IMO. One of my favorite Cd's in my collection. Highly recommended." Those who criticize the sound quality ... Maine Writer | Maine, USA | 12/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "clearly have wax in their ears/speakers. Through a high fidelity system of any reasonable quality, these recordings sound warm, glorious, superb. And, of course, these compositions are performed in a manner that matches their quality. Among Schubert's best works, in my opinion. Enjoy!" Three of the Best in Complete Harmony Henry H. Knapp | Rural California | 08/09/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Schubert trios are wonderful pieces of chamber music, and very demanding. They require virtuoso skill and very close harmony among the players. Typically, the best recorded versions of chamber pieces are made by players who have played together for at least five years. Often the harmonious interaction of an experienced group makes up for what one or more of the players may lack in virtuosity.
In this recording, three famous virtuosos play with such harmony that it seems that they must have played together for at least a decade. Delightful. " |
