Beethoven Piano Trios
New Arts Trio
"The New Arts is an international group: two Israeli string players, one of whom is first cellist in the Buffalo Philharmonic (lucky Buffalo) and an American pianist from the Eastman School. Is it Jewish soul that makes their performance seem so right? It is never too indulgent, but it is warm and caressing . . . These people are profoundly musical, and their playing is polished and refined and never lacking in feeling. In fact, they are much more refined that the full-throated Borodin Trio"
