Trio’s new album “Harmonie du soir” receives a 6-Star Review.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ “Olympic sovereignty”
The major Danish newspaper Politiken’s reviewer gives Trio’s new album “Harmonie du soir” a 6-Star Review.
“Olympic sovereignty
… It’s simply an ultimate interpretation, the three musicians Soo-Jin Hong, Soo-Kyung Hong and Jens Elvekjær deliver. In the world where it’s the millimeters and the small nuances that count almost even more than they do in the world of athletics, this is a winner recording…
… I sense an Olympic sovereignty and lightness behind it all with Trio con Brio, which places them on a supreme level.
This also applies to Ravel’s piano trio, where the impressionistic watercolor sounds flow like daydreams and grow in the mind, so that you surrender to a violent journey through dance and fantastic drama. It’s incredibly well played.”
