Spotlight on this release

  • Presto Editor's Choice
    July 2018

July 2018

Every performance is a gem: the line-up could scarcely be starrier, but what makes it special is the fact that everything is more than the sum of its considerable parts. Highlights include a gloriously uninhibited account of Berio’s Folk-Songs from maverick mezzo Malena Ernman, an electrifying Beethoven concerto from Martha Argerich, and a big-boned but lyrical Brahms piano trio from Truls Mørk, Ilya Gringolts and Daniil Trifonov
