After a moment of adjustment, I began to relish the Busch’s bright, bold approach, which extends to all four movements. Captured in excellent close-up sound, the confident musicianship of the three members is quite telling. Each has a distinctive voice, and although the piano is usually the leading and dominant instrument, the other two rise to solo caliber.

The Busch Trio take Schubert’s sincerity at face value...In short, they play with affection and style – a spirit that carries on over into the Notturno, where a knack for storytelling combines with a vivid but always appropriate ear for instrumental colour and emotional atmosphere….The finale [of the Trio] has both exuberance and poise, but you never forget – rightly – that this is a young man’s music.
