The K-L-R Trio's brief tenure with Vox produced these recordings of Romantic chamber-music masterpieces. This is an exceptionally virtuosic ensemble, made up of three soloists who have devoted part of every year to performing together for a couple of decades. As a result, their performances are extremely powerful yet very well integrated, certainly a desirable combination in repertoire like this. They even do a very idiomatic job of playing Dvorak, while their Brahms and Mendelssohn are really superb. Not only are these performances far above the normal standard for budget recordings, but they are also fine digital recordings. --Leslie Gerber

The playing overcomes everything October 15, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The recorded sound of this set is a little muddy. However, that cannot stop me from giving it top marks for superb individual and ensemble playing, coupled with total agreement in musical expression from all three musicians. The Dvorak "Dumky" trio is possibly the weakest of the set, but only because I prefer the more idiosyncratic interpretations of some other groups (e.g. Trio Fontenay and some others I can't remember).
a vote for the Brahms October 7, 2005

Since every review here talks about the Mendlssohn I'll talk about the Brahms. The versions here are well played and highly enjoyable. The recording quality is good although occasionally distant. My only problem is with the Dvorak trio. This version doesn't thrill me for some reason but this may be a matter of personal taste. The stand-out thing here is Laredo's great sound. This is quite a good bargain too.
Reference recording of the Mendelssohn trio April 7, 2005

Absolutely nobody has gotten to this level of perfection recording the Mendelssohn trio. The two other trios are superb as well.
Endearing, bought it for the Mendelssohn September 20, 2002

Don't let the budget price fool you. This is the best example of the Mendelssohn Trios performance that I have, including the Eugene Istomin, Leonard Rose, Isaac Stern trio, which sounds more mechanical to my ears.The origional vinyl disk for the Mendelssohn was full price as far as I can remember, this is a really good deal, the Brahms and the Dvorak are OK but the Mendelssohn itself pays for the set.
