"Korngold was an amazing prodigy. He wrote this trio at the ripe old age of 13, but you'd never know it. It is so well crafted and lyrically expressive. It demonstrates an emotional maturity that is stunning coming from someone so young. Alice Shapiro, Edgar Lustgarten and Israel Baker of the Pacific Arts Trio give a consummate performance of both the Korngold and the fascinating Ives trio that will make you laugh out loud with it's ingenious and unexpected use of so many popular folk melodies, from Marching through Georgia to Rock of Ages. The Pacific Arts Trio performs rhythmic miracles with this chaotic piece and makes it all sound easy."
