“This is an auspicious start to what will presumably be a far-reaching series. There are more than 30 Haydn piano trios to choose from, and the Florestan's flexible personality brings life to this group of four of them, all composed in London in the 1790s. Their character ranges from the gravity and intensity of the D major Hob XV:24 to the mix of melancholy and virtuosity in the F sharp minor Hob XV:26. As always with Haydn's music, there are subtle shifts of mood, nuances of phrasing and inflections of dynamics.” Daily Telegraph, 12th February 2009


“Domestic music-making in the late 18th century featured Haydn's "accompanied sonatas", designed to show off the newly popular piano with violin and cello doubling - and occasionally countering - the piano "soloist". (Contemporary advertisements in the Observer show the sheet music sold for three shillings.) Four of his later examples, including the familiar "Gypsy Rondo", are played here by the Florestan Trio with a captivating grace that silences those who would have us believe that these sonatas, which lack the independent part writing of later trios, are somehow lesser works.” The Observer, 15th February 2009


“These are altogether lively and alert performances, with repeats imaginatively varied, and a real feel for the subtle balance of the music.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2009 ****


“This is the first treat of the Haydn year — the bicentenary of the Austrian composer’s death — and a mouthwatering prospect: a set of his mature piano trios. Haydn wrote these works — essentially piano sonatas with violin and cello “accompaniment” — throughout his career, but it is only from the mid-1780s that he began to write masterpieces for this combination of instruments and helped to establish the trio as one of the essential genres. Three of the four that inaugurate the Florestan series date from Haydn’s second London visit (1794-95), and are dedicated to Rebecca Schroeter, the widow who befriended him. These include the brilliant “Gypsy Rondo”, with its all’Ongarese (Hungarian-style) finale. The articulation of Susan Tomes and her colleagues is alert and imaginative, with a “period-instrumental” feeling for texture, effortlessly capturing Haydn’s mercurial wit.” Sunday Times, 22nd February 2009 *****


“…Tomes and her partners identify themselves fully with the emotional scale of these works, ostensibly meant for domestic use on small pianos. The noise-quelling opening chord of No 24 would have stopped rowdy audiences of the day in their tracks. There is so much from the Florestan to stop us in our tracks too... Their interpretative acumen is unimpeachable. ...this is a very special disc, recorded in detailed, front-row sound.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2009
