All in all, the liveliness and spontaneity of Trio Gaspard’s performances are admirable throughout, though there are times when it ’s possible to feel that the music-making lacks an element of warmth.
Those who have followed this series so far will not be surprised by the high levels of virtuosity and performative imagination that are evident throughout.
like a bottle of champagne this music isn’t ideal for drinking in one go. A glass here, a glass there: that’s the best way to savour Haydn’s dancing subtleties, kaleidoscopic textures and sprightly wit, wonderfully conveyed by Trio Gaspard. It’s still delightful listening.
