“The result is—by a staggering margin—the finest performance and recording of this masterpiece that has ever been put down.”
FANFARE MAGAZINE, 2020
“Chamber music performances in the best sense: modest in proportion, but rich in insight.”
GRAMOPHONE, 2020
“Das Van Baerle Trio lässt sich mit Haut und Haar auf Beethoven ein, macht vor allem Kleinigkeiten zu Juwelen. An anderen Stellen spielt das Trio so warm und innig, dass es einem fast die Sprache verschlägt, weil diese Einigkeit unter den Musizierenden so anrührt.”
WDR 3 TONART, 2019
“The effect is liberating and, in these joyous, playful performances, utterly refreshing. The effect is of real chamber music – up close and very personal.”
GRAMOPHONE, 2019
“After the hypervital, boldly played finale of opus 70/2, you're happy that your CD player has a repeat button.”
NRC HANDELSBLAD, 2019
“Diese Einspielung bannt den Hörer vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton.”
PIZZICATO, 2018
“The overwhelming quality of this new disc is a quite irresistible freshness: young man’s music, played with an inquisitive spirit, a spring-like clarity and (when necessary) a daredevil verve.”
GRAMOPHONE, 2018
“It is remarkable if you can give the impression of an orchestra as a trio, but even more outstanding if you make the audience desire this medium more than the orchestra. This performance is of that league. Bring on volume three!”
DE VOLKSKRANT, 2018
“El trío Van Baerle es excepcionalmente brillante. Esta integral debería ser su doctorado, y por lo que llevamos oído bien podría ser cum laude”
SCHERZO, 2018
“This is a CD that evokes more admiration every time one listens to it.”
TROUW, 2018
“Ces interprètes trentenaires rendent à merveille l’esprit de ces oeuvres avec lequel le jeune compositeur s’apprêtait conquérir les mélomanes viennois et qu’il jugea dignes de porter son premier numéro d’opus, et tout au long de l’enregistrement, on ne cesse d’être émerveillé par la fraîcheur, le plaisir et le sens de la découverte qui font le prix de cette excellente interprétation.”
