German label Marsyas' release Pacific Trio: American Composers was recorded in Vienna by an American group, the
Pacific Trio, which is based out of Los Angeles , not to be confused with the
New Pacific Trio, which is based out of the University of the Pacific in Stockton, nor the
Pacific Art Trio that recorded for Delos back in the 1970s. With that out of the way, it should be further mentioned that this group contains three very talented musicians -- violinist
Roger Wilkie, cellist
John Walz, and pianist Edith Orloff -- who have played together some 30 years, though they are perhaps better recognized on their own merits rather than as part of this group; this appears to be their first recording, despite their long association.
