It's fine, but there are better choices

"If this were the only disk available of these works, I'd be thrilled. But the alternatives on the Dynamic label with Milan forces in the Concerto, and the Edison Trio on Stradivarius, are on an infinitely higher level interpretively.The Trio Kreisleriana, while fully-professional, is rhythmically slack in both pieces, so much so that the feeling comes across that the conductor is battling the Trio K to move things along. This compromises to some extent the very real contribution of an excellent orchestra that could have been used to far more effect.This disc isn't expensive and the engineering is first-rate. It's fun to have in your collection, but if space is at a premium, buy Rizzi/Panni and the Edison on their alternative offerings."
