These
performances are splendid in everyway, and the recording is equally
fine.
I can’t imagine a better introduction to this long-neglected music.

==============================================================================
Currently
Ensemble-in-Residence for Washington
DC's Embassy
Series, Messiah
College as well as Chamber
Music in Grantham, PA, the Mendelssohn Piano Trio
is one of the most exciting ensembles on the national and
international music scene. The ensemble has performed and
gave master classes in a variety of venues nationwide and
abroad, including universities, colleges, art academies, and
music festivals, as well as an international radio feature
of Voice of America. The performance highlights of the Trio's
upcoming 10th season are : National Concert Hall in Taipei,
Taiwan, National Gallery of the Arts, Smithsonian American
Art Museum, Embassy Concert Series, Black Rock Center of the
Arts, and many others. Their fourth & fifth CDs will be released
under the Centaur label with music of J. Suk, B. Smetana,
and F. Mendelssohn. The Washington Post has described the
group's Brahms cycle of Piano Trios and Piano Quartets presented
by Embassy Series as "unfathomably beautiful", "transcendent"
and "electrifying". Both the American Record Guide and Fanfare
Magazine have praised the trio's recordings released on Centaur
Records. Numerous classical music stations in the United States
have also featured these recordings. The trio's recent performance
at the National Gallery of Arts was broadcasted on NPR's "Performance
Today" program.
