"The Abegg Trio, hitherto distinguished for recordings of Beethoven and Brahms Trios, returns – as far as the name is concerned – “to itself” with this recording; this judgment is not just a play on words. Far more, it refers to the recording itself: whereas the Beethoven and Brahms recordings were highly remarkable in themselves, the Schumann interpretation by the three musicians is utterly charming: with its natural flow, musical élan where Schumann intended it, and analytically delicate detail work where the structure requires it. And whereas there is other high-standard competition to the D Minor Trio [...] to which the Abegg Trio is supremely equal, the atmospherically dense and ′characteristic′ recording of the Fantasy Pieces is unrivalled. The recording is beautifully transparent and faithful to the score. A thoroughly worthwhile recording." (stereoplay)
