"Auf zwei CDs passt die vollständige Kammermusik für Klavier und Streichinstrumente von Dmitri Schostakowitsch ... Sämtliche Werke des Album werden durch die klanglich hervorragende Interpretation zu Höhepunkten, aus denen das Klavierquintett op. 57 und das zweite Klaviertrio op. 67 noch einmal als Hauptwerke herausragen ... Gerade in der kargen Schönheit des Largos zeigen die Interpreten ihr besonderes Verständnis für den zur damaligen Zeit tief trauernden Komponisten".

"Orchid Classics har netop udsendt en aldeles glimrende cd med russiske klavertrioer. Først får vi et ungdomsarbejde af Dmitrij Sjostakovitj ... hvor Soo-Kyung Hongs skønne cellospil synes at give mæle til teenagerens betagelse af den skønne Tatjana ... Anton Arenskij (1861-1906) tilhørte generationen af senromantikere, og i hans klavertrio nummer 1 i d-mol kan man i alle fire satser fornemme Tjajkovskijs ånd svæve over vandene ... Når jeg hører tre så fremragende musikere som Soo-Jin Hong, Soo-Kyung Hong og Jens Elvekjær fortolke denne trio, er det mig umuligt ikke at svømme hen - ak ja, denne russiske vemod ... En næsten lige så lang trio af Sjostakovitj, hans opus 67 i e-mol fra krigsåret 1944, bringer os over i en ganske anden sfære ... men hvilken begavet komponist og hvilken fremragende fortolkning!".

"The Smetana's performance of the Ravel is not coolly 'Classical', but fully alive to its poignancy and inventive colouring. Pianist Jitka Cechova starts a touch slower than Ravel's metronome marking, yet she and her colleagues observe Ravel's relative tempos scrupulously, and the music - given time to breathe - becomes unusually expressive".

"Nur die Stücke für zwei Violinen und Klavier fehlen in dieser Gesamtaufnahme von Schostakowitschs schmalem Oeuvre für Klavier und Streicher ... Der portugiesische Pianist Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro und sein DSCH - Shostakovich Ensemble ... schlagen einen eher entspannten Ton an".

"Wonderful recordings of works that span Shostakovich's life. Ashkenazy and co perform with the required combination of anguish, anger and playfulness".

"Trio Con Brio har valgt at indlede sit trefoldige bud på russiske klavertrioer med et ungdomsværk af en 17-årig Dmitrij Sjostakovitj ... Trio Con Brio evner både de følsomme fraseringer og det tempofyldte sammenspil med stor indlevelse og dynamik ... Hovedattraktionen ... er dog uden sammenligning Sjostakovitjs anden klavertrio ... Man kan da også virkelig mærke dem. og meget overbevisende er den bidske tilgang til fjerdesatsen og dens jødisk inspirerede dødedans".

"Chamber choice: Ghosts haunt all three piano trios in this well-planned triptych ... The lyric inspiration really flows, with the rich but never over-resonant acoustic of the Royal Danish Academy of Music gives space to each player's special beauty of tone. While I've heard performances of Arensky's work before which didn't engrave it on the memory, the Copenhagen trio truly make it live. I won't forget this disc".

"Shostakovich's wartime Second Trio, such a powerful work, gets a splendid performance ... The Smetana players know just what to do for maximum effect ... The Smetana Trio respond most beautifully to Ravel's more sensuous passages and give us a real sense of the work's breadth and emotional range".

"With decent notes and sumptous recorded sound, this is a disc that triumphantly confirms the pre-eminence of this marvellous Czech ensemble, and I recommend it very warmly".

"The Florestan judges its performance extremely well ... the players maintain a raw, nervy quality - this is playing close to the edge ... Highly recommended".

"The Florestans fully capture the youthful ardour and impetuosity of the First Trio. They are in equally inspired form in the Seven Blok romances providing mesmerising and powerfully etched accompaniments to Susan Gritton's achingly beautiful singing".

"Formed in 2006, the DSCH - Shostakovich Ensemble comprises musicians of the younger generation who, in these works at least, favour a taut and objective though never casual or facile approach ... Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro contributes pianism as deft as it is perceptive. The sound is lean and keenly focused ... Anyone who is interested in current Shostakovich interpretation should certainly hear this set".

"Ashkenazy and his colleagues bring out [the First Trio's] lyrical qualities to the full, with no shortage of momentum where required ... Ashkenazy and Ada Meinich certainly bring verve and pungency to the [Viola Sonata]".

"Editor's choice: Trio Con Brio Copenhagen's affectionate swooping and sliding [in Shostakovich] ... are entirely appropriate to the idiom, and their passionate momentum in the fast themes is equally spot on. Arensky's D minor Trio is a brilliant choice of coupling ... Trio con Brio bring lovely flexibility and breadth of phrasing to the first movement, and the Scherzo has charm, wit and dexterity aplenty ... All in all, this is the kind of performance that gives you a fair chance of falling in love withe the piece if you haven't already done so ... In every way, then, this is an outstanding achievement, and I only hope the disc gets the acclaim it deserves".
