Editorial Reviews
Julian Haylock - The Strad Magazine
...Volkert's skilful arrangements are felicitous, idiomatic, so much that one quickly forgets the originals." ...pleasingly full and rounded..."

Georgia Rowe, Contra Costa Times
...abounds with a spirit of unanimity, good humor... the blend is dynamic...highly recommended for chamber music aficionados.

5 out of 5 stars Delectable Indeed!.......2004-02-14

I don't know when I last enjoyed the sinfully sweet sounds of a string trio this much! From the bittersweet cello to the rich caramel of the viola, this is chamber music at it's very best. The violin playing adds a melodious crunch which I can still feel on my tasebuds. This is one sweet cd!

5 out of 5 stars Dazzling Debut!.......2003-09-10

This debut CD from the Volkert-Walther Trio is stunning in its complexity, and yet subtle in its interpretation. I recommend this CD to anyone who is serious about Schumann, as well as intelligent about Tchaikovsky and Beethoven.

There is a richness in this trio that is captivating. I look forward with eagerness to their next recording.

More, Volkert-Walther Trio. More!
