"They really live up to their name: "Trio Vivente" is the name of the ensemble which was founded in 1992 and since then has given guest recitals at leading concert series such as the "Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele". If liveliness is to be the stamp to mark this troika’s music, then they could not have chosen a more fitting composer than Joseph Haydn. Even in the second part of this complete recording of Haydn’s more than thirty piano trios, we experience three musicians who are excellent at getting the quantity right: the generally lively, occasionally daring tempo suits the ductus of the music, the dialogue between the three instruments is just right, and the language is transparent."
