The debut album of the youthful Trio Bohémo featuring Piano Trios by Smetana and Schubert has been selected as the Classical Album of the Week by The Guardian and by Presto Music!
“This is the Trio Bohémo’s first CD, and it’s an immensely promising debut. Schubert’s great E flat Piano Trio D929 and Smetana’s Trio in G minor Op 15 do not make the most obvious pairing: composed 28 years apart, they belong to utterly different musical worlds. But the freshness and energy of the Bohémo’s playing quickly erases any suggestion of a mismatch… overall their approach to the challenges of what are two of the greatest works in the piano-trio repertory is utterly convincing.”
The Guardian, August 2024
“There’s a palpable synergy and conviviality to their playing which leaps out of the speakers… This is an ensemble which really can go from 0–60 in a couple of seconds, as they’re required to do many times in this opening movement – every dynamic shift is managed in perfect synchronicity, with no sense of bumps in the road or moments of rocky balance.”
