An intriguing assortment...Insightful performances
June 2010
The performance has the right idea in not attempting to gloss over the discontinuities [of the String Trio]...[these players] give a good sense of the way angry expression dissolves into wistful lyricism at the end...Schoenberg's voice...is heard to powerful effect.
11th April 2010
The latest in Craft’s Schoenberg series for Naxos is a bizarre but bracing sequence. First comes the late, great String Trio, a profoundly concentrated but expressively liberated single span...and afterwards the Septet-Suite, one of his most dazzling essays, played with fierce gusto.
18th March 2010
the late, febrile String Trio of 1947 [is] played with wiry intensity by Rolf Schulte, Richard O'Neill and Fred Sherry
