This is volume three of the Mendelssohn Piano Trio's ongoing project of Haydn's piano trios. Fanfare praised volume two saying, InchThe Mendelssohn Trio uses it's ability to interpret the great composer's music with sensitive, idiomatic playing. In addition, the disc has excellent, crystal-clear sound we can look forward to a great deal more from this excellent trio.Inch
