The question is not: "Is this the finest set of Schubert's piano trios ever recorded?" With a discography full of superbly soulful performances, the idea of a "finest set" is absurd. The question is: "Is this a superbly soulful set of Schubert's piano trios?" Listen for yourself. Listen to the opening of Notturno in E flat, listen to the strumming chords of the piano, listen to the sweetly singing melody of the violin and cello: is this not purest beauty? Listen to the opening of Andante con moto from the Trio in E flat, listen to the ominous tread of the piano, listen to the anxiously apprehensive song of the violin and cello: is this not dreadful fear? Listen to the opening of the Trio in B flat, listen to the light dance of the piano, listen to the airy duet of the violin and cello: is this not blissful joy? So, to answer the question, "Is this a superbly soulful set of Schubert's piano trio?" The answer is yes. Camerata's sound -- warm, vivid, and real -- rivals the best in sound from Deutsche Grammophon, BIS, Hyperion, or Musikproduktion Dabringhaus und Grimm.
