"These are bracing, imaginative performances on CD. Beghin pushes the reconstructed instrument hard and (perhaps due to the hearing machine) it is a boxy, boomy instrument, but the turbulence and conflict in Beethoven’s late sonatas come across well. His tempos are relatively sane, and I admire his flexibility and clarity. The opus 110 Sonata (No. 31) is especially successful, with its percussive changes of mood and extremes brought into a coherent whole. He coaxes an impressive dynamic range out of this instrument, but what lingers is the twanging reverb, the only thing this amplification machine seems to bring to the table."

"Their ensemble and intonation are both first rate, and the pieces, not often performed, are all worth knowing."

"An imaginative programme of chamber and choral music, designed to highlight links between them, is capped by a superb Second Piano Trio."
