Performances by BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists the ATOS Trio have been met with high acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Following their recordings of the Pianos Trios of Herzogenberg and Suk, the ATOS Trio now turns to two key works of the trio literature.

Here we have a new benchmark recording!
