Schubert completed
his two piano trios between November 1827 and November 1828, the last
year of his life. Despite his ill health, he still managed to write
an incredible amount of compositions, and one masterpiece after the
other flowed from his pen. Apart from the trios, within a few months’ time
he wrote the great Symphony in C, the three last piano sonatas, the
string quintet, the Lieder cycle Schwanengesang, the Fantasie for piano
duet and the Mass in E flat. |

They play with great intensity and feeling in the slow movements and are lighter and even often playful in the fast movements….The 5.0 SACD surround provides a rather close and spatially-separated sonic imago of the trio, positioned much as they are in the photo in the liner notes.

My standards in the Shubert trios are Istomin/Stern/Rose, with which I grew up, and the 1984 Beaux Arts Trio set. The Storioni Trio holds up excellently in this company.
James Reel, Fanfare
Young players take a light approach to deeper works-and it pays off, too.
Edward Greenfield, Gramophone
The Storioni Trio’s approach in both works could best be described as Apollonian rather than Dionysian. They studiously avoid any over-romanticism of the music, and while this somewhat austere approach can lead at times to a sense of coolness it does let the music speak on its own terms without indulgence and excessive interpretive gestures. It is the antithesis of what is to be heard on the classic the Cortot-Thibaud-Casals CD.
One thing about which there can be little argument is the quality of PentaTone’s beautifully balanced recording. Made in the Concertboerderij Valthermond, which seems an ideal chamber music venue, it has both warmth and clarity and realistically captures the three instruments and their placement in the hall.
Graham Williams, SA-CD.net
Buyers do get their money's worth on the SACD featuring Schubert's two big piano trios, Op. 99 and 100….Splendid, vibrant performances here of Schubert's immortal music, recorded with tonal beauty and sonics that place you right inside a concert hall.

Storioni Trio The Storioni Trio was founded in
1995 by Bart van de Roer (piano), Wouter Vossen (violin)and Marc
Vossen (cello). The Trio derives its name from the Laorentius Storioni
violin from Cremona, which dates from 1794 and is played by Wouter
Vossen. The instrument belonging to Marc Vossen is a Giovanni Grancino
cello from Milan, dating from 1700. In order to perfect its ensemble-playing,
the Trio has worked over the years with great musicians such as
Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Menahem Pressler, and Ralph
Kirshbaum, as well as members of the Emerson Quartet and the Vermeer
Quartet.
