About

This young trio that takes its name from the legendary violinist Adolf Busch (1891-1952) has already made its name on the international scene as one of the most talented of the new generation, picking up on its travels enthusiastic reactions from public and press – as well as several prizes at the major competitions. ‘ . . . what impressed most was the group’s effortless musicianship and unity of thought and attack. The threesome even seemed to be breathing in synch’, wrote The Times after one of their concerts at the Wigmore Hall.

Under the auspices of Alpha Classics and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, the ensemble has set itself a challenge: to record the complete chamber music with piano of Antonín Dvořák. With the monumental Trios no.3 op.65 and no.4 op.90, these Londonbased musicians get the saga off to a flying start, in deeply felt interpretations that penetrate to the heart of the great Czech composer’s poetic universe.

Very fine performances, the two string players perfectly matched, with articulate piano playing

14th August 2016

Their Dumky is unusually broad and, arguably, a little lacking in Bohemian spirit. The wonderful, yearning third movement is more adagio than andante, and the fourth even slower. Yet it sounds so beautiful that criticism is silenced. The musicians – van Bellen, Ori Epstein (cello), Omri Epstein (piano) – play as one.
