These are mostly excellent performances matching sweet string tone with a muscular approach to musical argument. The first movement of the B flat trio coudl have been more expansive, but the development, with its exquisite conclusion, is impressive.

all these performances bring great lyrical concentration, consistent throughout the set, with the violin and cello often creating a real partnership together and the group overall wonderfully balanced musically

I thank the Gould for their wonderful guided tour. They show all the landmarks in the best possible light, giving as much attention and affection to early works as to the late ones. Every minute was a pleasure.

The trio bring just the right amount of Moravian bounce to the early works and invest the later ones with joy and pathos. A firecracker of a disc.
