Some of the Finest of the Beaux Arts complete set!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Haydn was particularly unfettered in his amazing imagination in his piano trios, and these one this disc are among the finest -- the famous "Gypsy" Rondo never sounding better, the dark F# Minor (with repeats of both exposition AND development-recapitualtion making the argument even clearer) -- ending with the C Major (no. 27). The writing is strikingly Beethovenian and the development of the finale is breathtaking. If you're wary of buying the 10-disc set, get this without question: but sooner or later you'll get the complete set as well. Absolutely luscious performances, recording standards, everything!"
