These are some of the most impassioned, moving, and notable readings of these favorites that I have ever heard, bar none. I am especially picky about the Beethoven, one of my favorites and to this point best projected by the legendary Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio. But the Claremont has their measure fully, and this is something I never thought I would say… Absolutely brilliant readings of these two works, now among the best on disc. —Audiophile Audition

Their exuberant performance and gutsy repertoire… was the kind of fresh approach that keeps chamber music alive. —Cincinnati Enquirer

They play with passion and precision, and they had all the power to carry the great tidal wave of Brahms' final movement. It says even more for them that they made quieter passages in both works as interesting as the climaxes. —Boston Globe

The recording is ideal… and the playing is uniformly lovely. I know of no finer recording of the Beethoven, and this one stands with the best classic versions of the Brahms. —Fanfare

What a joy to hear two fine musicians who have played together almost all their lives, and are identical twins to boot! Andrea Lam, who joined them first for the Gardner concert, has fully integrated her playing into theirs. —Boston Musical Intelligencer

The Claremont Trio pulled out all the stops for the first movement delivering one of the most intense I have ever heard… The second movement was polished and beautifully balanced while the lighter-than-air scherzo really took wing. This was Felix at his most irresistible. The energy of the first movement was harnessed to forge an overwhelming climax. Brava! —Classical Voice of North Carolina
