“As with their previous recordings, there is nothing routine about the Smetana Trio's approach to this engaging repertoire. The performance of the Dvorák Trio is perhaps the most remarkable. The first movement has breadth as well as, in the delightful second melody, infectious bounce; the soulful Adagio is genuinely moving and the finale splendidly rounded...”
“Not surprisingly, the performance by the Smetana Trio – cellist Jan Pálenícek is the son of the original
Smetana Trio pianist, Josef – is thoroughly idiomatic, with the many dumka speed-changes sounding
totally natural and spontaneous. What instantly strikes the ear is the delicacy, the piano relatively light to
bring out the filigree textures of much of the writing.”
