July/August 2022
These are vigorous, animated readings that take best advantage of the brilliant fast music in the outer movements, particularly the rocket that takes off at the start of Concerto No. 1...Vogt’s performances are as fine as any I’ve heard in years. Warmly recommended.

as you might expect from such a first-class chamber musician, he gives as much attention to places where the piano accompanies as he does when he’s centre stage.
