Synopsis

Amazon.com

The K-L-R Trio's brief tenure with Vox produced these recordings of Romantic chamber-music masterpieces. This is an exceptionally virtuosic ensemble, made up of three soloists who have devoted part of every year to performing together for a couple of decades. As a result, their performances are extremely powerful yet very well integrated, certainly a desirable combination in repertoire like this. They even do a very idiomatic job of playing Dvorák, while their Brahms and Mendelssohn are really superb. Not only are these performances far above the normal standard for budget recordings, but they are also fine digital recordings. --Leslie Gerber

CD Reviews

Reference recording of the Mendelssohn trio

J. Boss | Seattle, USA | 04/07/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Absolutely nobody has gotten to this level of perfection recording the Mendelssohn trio. The two other trios are superb as well."

A vote for the Brahms

G. Metcalf | United States | 10/07/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Since every review here talks about the Mendlssohn I'll talk about the Brahms. The versions here are well played and highly enjoyable. The recording quality is good although occasionally distant. My only problem is with the Dvorak trio. This version doesn't thrill me for some reason but this may be a matter of personal taste. The stand-out thing here is Laredo's great sound. This is quite a good bargain too."

The playing overcomes everything

half | Diamond Bar, CA United States | 10/15/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The recorded sound of this set is a little muddy. However, that cannot stop me from giving it top marks for superb individual and ensemble playing, coupled with total agreement in musical expression from all three musicians. The Dvorak "Dumky" trio is possibly the weakest of the set, but only because I prefer the more idiosyncratic interpretations of some other groups (e.g. Trio Fontenay and some others I can't remember)."
