"Eugene Ysaye wrote two string trios, the published Trio de concert op. 19 for two violins and viola and the work on this disc, written in 1927 for the orthodox line-up but never published. It is gorgeous. Late Romantic effusion in one movement, lasting 20 minutes and full of stirling effects with an exhilarating ending... I have enjoyed previous CDs by the young Gaede Trio...and this one keeps the standard, being as beautifully recorded as the others. The three players have similar ideas on tone production and produce a splendid sinewy sound, heard to great advantage in the rendering of Beethoven′s Serenade which opens the programme."
