"Harmonia Mundi's sumptuous engineering balances Vincent Coq's brilliant keyboard playing perfectly against his two partners. This isn't as easy as it sounds; Mendelssohn expects the pianist to execute tons of notes at high speed in the outer movements of both works, without ever overpowering the strings. That Trio Wanderer manages this feat so effortlessly is just one of the delightful surprises that await you if you add this release to your collection."
(ClassicsToday 10/10)

The two piano trios are both major works of Mendelssohn's creative maturity. Hailed as 'the master trio of our era' by the German press of the day, no.1 (1839) was written by a composer who had just turned 30; yet, a mere six years later, Trio no.2 (1845) was already destined to be his last chamber work with piano. After a Brahms CD unanimously acclaimed by the critics, here is the Wanderer Trio once again at the peak of its art.
