About new release, The Piano Tuner, DCD 34084

The fine Fidelio Trio plays each piece with deft understanding of its aesthetic stance. Sunday Times

This kind of music is food and drink to the Fidelio Trio and it gives sure-footed, rhythmically alive, directly communicative performances of all three works, which Delphian offers in a warm and immediate recording. International Record Review

The Fidelio Trio’s advocacy of British music continues with this disc of piano trios from Scottish (and Scottish-based) composers……a thought-provoking release.

The virtuosic Fidelio Trio…

- Sunday Times, June 2008

 

 
       

This is a bold and powerful recording, thoughtfully recorded, showing the young Fidelio Trio to be a force to be reckoned with.

- International Record Review, April 2008

 

 
       

…a performance of charged lyricism, tireless commitment to the churning, angular patterns and an ability to negotiate the sudden mood changes that much of the music demands.

…beautifully played.

- The Sunday Times, 24th February 2008

 

 
       

That sense of space and calmness is memorably evoked by the Fidelio Trio here, whose spacious, deeply calm reading of this often very beautiful score is utterly bewitching.

Darragh Morgan and Robin Michael are superbly well focused, Mary Dullea is no less authoritative in Notes from a Diary.

- Gramophone, June 2008

 

 
       

The trio’s violinist Darragh Morgan and cellist Robin Michael construct the wonderfully detailed sound worlds impressively: chilly false harmonics shimmer and form whirlpools of ambience, while icy cluster chords receive impeccable tuning

…the performances are a treat.

- Critic’s Choice, Gramophone, December 2008

 

 
       

Their style is electrifyingly unanimous…ice-cool virtuosity and moody whispers that colour in equal measure.

Ravel’s piano trio was really as fine a performance as one is likely to hear.
