In A New Light

"Here is a refreshing disc of unhackneyed piano trios, titled In a New Light, played by an extraordinarily refreshing group of young women known collectively as Trio Voce.

"Trio Voce plays with a passionate commitment that is almost overwhelming in its emotionalism. No cookie-cutter players, these, but three ladies who jump into their music-making feet first and with no holds barred!

"I was tremendously impressed by this CD, and think you will be, too. This is truly committed music-making on a level rarely heard nowadays.

--Lynn Rene Bayley, Fanfare Magazine

"Only pleasant surprises lie in wait for auditors of this collection of late-Romantic trios, recorded 10-12 December 2012 at WFMT Studios in Chicago.

"The same artful finesse that marked the Suk and Zemlinsky trios has bestowed an equally grand impression on the Arensky to motivate our desire to hear more of the Trio Voce.

--Gary Lemco, Audiophile Audition
