‘The Beaux Arts Trio plus Walter Trampler deliver a fine performance, with their typically excellent ensemble balance and a particularly flowing and cogent account of the magnificent central variation movement [of the First Piano Quartet]’ ClassicsToday.com
‘The playing of the Beaux Arts Trio is as fresh and spontaneous as the music itself, and the early 1970s recording still sounds remarkably well – warm and beautifully balanced’ *** Penguin Guide
