The Trio Then-Bergh (violin), Wen-Sinn Yang (cello), and Michael Schäfer (piano) provide a cross-section of the golden age of Russian music in their new GENUIN CD. These three exceptional musicians play masterpieces compiled and arranged by the composer Alexander Krein in the first half of the 20th century. Krein is a masterful arranger who makes the soul of each piece shine in the trio version. Works by Tchaikovsky (for example, from his String Serenade and The Seasons) and Rimsky-Korsakov (from The Golden Cockerel) are presented here, as well as wonderfully sentimental salon music from Glière to Tcherepnin.

MusicWeb International
"The ensemble here (...) obviously love these pieces and there is real vibrancy and joy in their music making. The sound is absolutely spot on, warm and rich, highlighting the intimate nature of this music. (...) nowadays when music is mostly on tap it is nice to be introduced to some genuinely charming music, played with passion and commitment."
