Reviews

"beautifully played with finesse"

Hamilton

“Mastery belie talent beyond trio's years”

Napier

"It was pure delight, with the andante con moto out of this world."

Otago

"...first-class balance and blend. Their ensemble was near-perfect in timing, intonation, dynamics, expression and interpretation.  | The deft, accomplished playing of the whole trio made it clear why they had won in Hamburg – and why there was no second place-getter to rival their achievement. | The Saguaro Trio is a consummate ensemble; a combination of superb musicians in complete accord. I will be most surprised if they don’t hit the ‘big time’ quite soon."

Wellington

"... played Brahms's Second Piano Trio as if it had been written for [them]..."
