At last Gramophone, the UK’s leading classical record magazine, has reviewed the Florestan Trio’s latest Hyperion disc of Haydn Trios (volume 2). Here’s an extract:
‘The Florestan Trio display their customary virtuosity, elegance and caprice, once again capturing the full emotional range of what may, on the surface, appear to be merely domestic entertainment music… Peter Quantrill has already chosen this disc as a highlight of the past year (in the issue of December 09) and I can do little better than echo his description of it as ‘a disc of good, serious fun’.’
