DIE ZEIT - one of the important national German newspapers - published its Christmas recommendations on November 24th. In the category "Secret tip" Wolfram Goertz lists today's audite release Amadeus Quartet Vol. 5 "Romanticism". His statement: The Amadeus Quartet was so to speak the "mother soil" in which everything thrived; the artists set standards for the interpretation of Brahms, Schumann and others.
We agree and are thus particularly happy about this recommendation!

Since 16 years, Sébastien Singer has been the cellist of the Swiss Piano Trio. Because of a long-term ailment of his right wrist, he had unfortunately to leave this position in summer. We are very sorry about this and wish him all the best. We would also like to thank him for the long and nice period together with many successful concerts, many CD recordings and many exciting experiences during our trips! The Swiss Piano Trio found a brilliant successor with cellist Alexander Neustroev who stands for continuity within the change. We welcome Alexander as a new member of the Swiss Piano Trio and we are looking forward to all projects to come!
