Press Quotes

Described as "one of the world's leading ensembles of violin, cello and piano" (Washington Post), and "the Beaux Arts Trio of the 21st century" (The Baltimore Sun), the Vienna Piano Trio has been praised for its silken homogenous sound, and its "telepathic gifts of communication" (The Plain Dealer).  The ensemble studied with the Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Haydn Trio Wien; Isaac Stern chose them for his 1993 Public Chamber Music Workshop at Carnegie Hall.

For a number of years, the ensemble has performed in Vienna within the  Jeunesse series at the Wiener Musikverein; as of the 06/07 season the ensemble has run its own series at the Wiener Konzerthaus' Mozartsaal. 

The Vienna Piano Trio  annually appears at the Concertgebouw and Wigmore Hall and on many of the major stages worldwide.  On this continent, the ensemble  has performed at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, Kennedy and Lincoln Centers, the Frick Collection, and at major series in e.g. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. 

Festival appearances include Salzburg, Schubertiade Feldkirch, Wiener Festwochen, Carinthischer Sommer, Schleswig-Holstein, Flanders Festival,  Aix-en-Provence, Kuhmo, and Casals Festival, Puerto Rico. In North America, the ensemble made very successful appearances at the festivals of Ottawa, Lanaudiere, Quebec City, Domaine Forget, and the Woodstock Mozart Festival (Beethoven Triple).  

Recent touring in Europe took the group to, among others, England (BBC-Manchester, Wigmore Hall, St. Luke’s - the Beethoven Triple with the English Chamber Orchestra, The City of London Festival), Germany (Beethoventage Bonn), Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama), France (Paris, Lyon), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), The Netherlands, and Australia and New Zealand. 

Among the engagements in the 06/07 season were Beethoven Fest Bonn (the Beethoven Triple w. Munich Chmb. O.), Heidelberg Fruehling (all Schumann trios), and appearances at Berlin Konzerthaus, Hamburg Musikhalle, Munich Gasteig, in Boston, Baltimore, at the Frick Collection, in Toronto, Houston, at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, and a tour to all the major stages of South America.

Concerts of the ensemble have been repeatedly broadcast on NPR stations, and the trio has appeared live on WGBH Boston and St. Paul Sunday.

Recordings for Nimbus (including trios by Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Schnittke and Shostakovich) have won many awards; in May 1999 Classic CD voted them "Top of the Class," and The London Times voted their latest Beethoven CD as Record Of The Year. Of their recording of Mozart trios, Classic CD wrote: "exemplary performances, subtle, eloquent, perfectly balanced, beautifully supple and continuously communicative."  Since 2003, the ensemble has been recording exclusively for MDG. In August 03 and February 04 BBC Music Magazine declared its Vols I and II of Schubert recordings to be Benchmark Recordings. Two Dvorak recordings released in 04 are meeting with critical acclaim.  BBC Music Magazine gives Vol I Five Stars and says: "These performances are, quite simply, stunning...interpretative playing of the highest quality enhanced by a natural sound put this issue well ahead of any other contenders".  Its recording of works by Zemlinsky/Mahler/

Schoenberg was released in November 05 and won Pizzicato's  and Supersonic Award for May 2006.
