In May we will be announcing details of our upcoming Hyperion cd release and a wonderful TV series about Beethoven in which we are featured. Until then we send you warm wishes for safety and good health.
We have just finished a European tour and loved playing in some of our favorite venues in Hungary, England, Italy and Holland. Please see our Reviews section for the latest reviews of both our concerts and our latest Dohnányi recording, including the Gramophone review and the Chamber Choice, five star review from BBC Music Magazine.
