 | from Taneyev: String Trios (CDA67573) 1 Allegro [8'24] 25 minutes 1 seconds 4 tracks2 Scherzo 'in contrapunto alla riversa': Molto vivace – Trio – Scherzo da capo [5'21] 3 Adagio ma non troppo [5'14] 4 Allegro molto – Più mosso [6'02] ‘It would be hard to over-praise the Leopold Trio's performances. Agility and all-round aplomb … warmth and colour … structural and idiomatic awareness … fine recording quality and help ... ‘Listening to the three trios that the Leopold String Trio present with such commitment and persuasiveness leaves no doubt as to Taneyev's contrapuntal ingenuity and resource … excellent recorded ... ‘There is … an individual creative spark, urgency and textural richness that the Leopolds communicate with sensitivity and terrific panache’ (The Daily Telegraph) |
