Brahms Piano Trios & Horn Trio

Trio Sōra piano trio
on La Dolce Volta (double disc set)

****
From the élan of the youthful First [Piano Trio] through to the heady final trio written in old age, this set of works positively glows thanks to the warmth of this intimate recording. Trio Sōra have a delectable evenness of tone, playing and seemingly breathing as one.

Michael Beek, BBC Music Magazine, August 2024

Technically, Trio Sōra are extremely impressive. Their ensemble has Boulezian precision, the strings’ intonation is close to faultless and they clearly take great care of matters of articulation and balance… I especially appreciate how sensitive they are not only to Brahms’s markings but also to the music’s changing harmonic colours.

World première Paris 18 February 2022

– a score of great quality that creates three contrasting atmospheres and possesses a certain evocative power and mastery of the orchestra. The Trio Sōra … plays as a trio, rather than soloists playing in a trio, and they knew how to share their involvement and the pleasure they experienced with the audience

Cartouche, Premiere-Loge, 22 February 2022

The composer, who has an extensive sound universe, uses a rich and sometimes spectacular orchestral force that ensures dialogue with the intimacy of the Trio. Sōra’s instrumentalists are perfectly showcased individually and as a group. They have undoubtedly contributed to the success of this much appreciated world premiere.
