These are beautifully played performances, set in a generous enough acoustic (the Teldex Studio in Berlin) to give each instrument full voice...There is enough clarity around each instrument to make every line audible, which hasn’t necessarily been the case in the Wanderer’s previous recordings of Romantic music.

The Trio Wanderer give five late examples, all of which combine substance and charm as winningly as any of the mature symphonies. These performances are beautifully gauged, touching in the slower movements, sparkling with insight in the faster ones.
