'When this Trio comes to an end with a radiant and triumphant D major, every shooting beam of it seems earned, logical, justified, as well as astonishing and thrilling to hear.'
The Boston Globe (Richard Buell), 5th November 1991'Maw's Trio is a work of huge confidence, scope and scale, properly compared in the accompanying notes to Fauré in its ample melodic sweep. Indeed, has there been a finer piano trio since Shostakovich?'
