‘These are certainly performances to be treasured, with the playing unfailingly stylish and full of imaginative touches … their new recording can be unreservedly recommended’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The Florestan Trio get it exactly right, with Susan Tomes' exquisite pianisim perfectly supported by violinist Anthony Marwood's lithe, highly articulate playing and cellist Richard Lester's finely judged asides. Another winner from this wonderful ensemble’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘At the start of K548's airy finale, Susan Tomes' gracefully demure piano is swiftly countered by Anthony Marwood's raffish forte riposte: and this sense of delighted, quick-witted dialogue between quasi-operatic protagonists runs through the whole movement, abetted by touches of sly, subtle timing, from Marwood especially. No performance of this piece has ever made me smile as much … talk of an outright winner is always dangerous. For my taste, though, the Florestan's sparkling, inventive performances, on this disc and its companion, make them a top recommendation for the complete Mozart trios, their claims enhanced by the warm, ideally balanced recording’ (Gramophone)

‘About as close as possible to what Mozart himself had in mind’ (Gramophone)

‘The Florestan Trio, with pianist Susan Tomes at her most beguiling, give a scintillating account of three mature Mozart piano trios on this disc … whatever the technical intensity of the constituent roles Mozart demands of them, Antony Marwood and Richard Lester are well aware of how to make the best of their contributions. This is musical team-work of a very high order’ (The Cambridge Society)

„A delight … its virtues, of course, were no surprise. Susan Tomes' Mozartian credentials were richly established with her 2004 recording of the Piano Concertos K413-415 on Hyperion CDA67358 … performances as fine as anything ever released of these enchanting works. She is a pianist, and artist, of the front rank“ (Piano, Germany)

‘The Florestan Trio, whose recording of Mozart Piano Trios prove an unmitigated delight’ (Secrets, Australia)

‘The Florestan Trio makes this lovely music shimmer with dazzling facility. These are seasoned Mozart interpretations of high order’ (Audiophile Audition, USA)

‘The Florestan Trio's accounts of the Third, Fourth, and Sixth trios set reference standards for stylish perception, textural transparency, and the kind of sophisticated articulation and motivic interplay that may be preplanned, yet never seems intellectualized … Hyperion's clear, full-bodied, and impeccably-balanced engineering deserves its own rave review’ (Classics Today)

‘As in all their artistic endeavours, this outstanding disc of Mozart piano trios from the acclaimed Florestan Trio demonstrates a delightfully unforced lyricism coupled with the most exquisite, long-lined phrasing … sample the luminous performance of the central Andante grazioso of the E major Trio K542 to hear chamber music playing of the very highest order’ (HMV Choice)

‘Superb execution … another feather in the Florestan Trio's cap’ (International Record Review)

‘These are beautifully judged performances, generally fleeter of foot, airier of texture and more intimate in tone with an ideal balance between the instruments’ (Gramophone)
