“Considero questa una delle migliori sedute di registrazione cui abbia mai partecipato; in quest’incisione, realizzata a Trieste dal Trans Europe Trio, si possono sentire tutta la spontaneità e la qualità della musica suonata”. Difficile trovare parole più appropriate di queste, semplici ma significative, scritte da Christian Escoudé, il più celebre dei tre componenti del Trans Europe Trio, a commento dell’incisione. Che un “interplay” spontaneo, magico e naturale, sia subito nato fra i tre musicisti è chiaro sin dalle prime battute dello splendido brano d’apertura, di Hermeto Pascoal. Nata nel 2007, la formazione si riunisce saltuariamente ma ogni volta l’entusiasmo è quello della prima. Siamo in presenza di un trio davvero paritetico, sotto ogni punto di vista.

Ekaterina Derzhavina's name was new to me, but this 9-CD set of Haydn's complete piano sonatas should broaden her recognition considerably…Not surprisingly, since she plays all the sonatas, you can find better performances of some individual pieces, especially the later ones. But viewed as a survey of the entire corpus, her feel for Haydn's originality comes through brilliantly. Derzhavina is an exceptional artist, and rather magical.
