“there is much to delight in the four works presented here, with charm, virtuosity and vivaciousness in abundance. The use of period instruments gives a pleasing airiness to textures.”

“In these trios the keyboard has the lead, and Harald Hoeren takes it. His dynamically differentiated playing is a joy to listen to. Annette Wehner is an excellent violinist with a beautiful tone, blending perfectly with the keyboard. The solo episodes are very well executed.”
