Critical Acclaim
| They command respect for their lustrous tone and unerring interpretive intelligence. The Ravel Trio glowed in their hands; it was properly perfect and properly alive. |
THE NEW YORK TIMES |
| A magnificent amalgam of lucid, glistening tonal brilliance, severely calibrated dynamics and elegant phrasing. The Laurel Trio seems destined to make a substantial contribution to the music of our time. |
NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW |
| A fusion of congenial talents who have performed together for five years to attain an artistic unity of rare vision. |
GREENWICH TIMES |
| Performances of the Triple Concerto are rare. Cellist Amy Levine Tsang set the tone for the first movement, acquitting her solos with a touching lyricism the other instrumentalists echoed in their solos. The Laurel Trio caught the fire of the final movement, with each soloist flinging the dance theme among themselves with fun-loving aplomb. The music found an appropriately happy medium between speed and clarity. |
PRINCETON STAR-LEDGER |
| Violinist Sunghae Anna Lim and cellist Amy Levine Tsang found ways to make their instruments sound a bit Eastern and exotic, an effect I had not heard before, either in live performance or on record. They were quite convincing, and this was only one example of the extra dimensions they found in the music. |
ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL |
| Shimmering tonal brilliance...astute and nuanced interpretation...a clarity of tone and a delicate sense of timing made for a lustruously polished performance. |
AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN |
| The Laurel Trio demonstrated impeccable and solid performances. In terms of execution, one cannot ask for greater instrumental cohesion and transparency. They achieved a spotless interpretation. |
MONTERREY, MEXICO |
| The energy and drive of this spirited trio spread from the stage to the audience, which rewarded the ensemble with three curtain calls and a standing ovation. |
