"Three strong voices, locked in sequence."
The New York Times
"Trio triumphs at Terrace" [headline] The Washington Post
"Violinist Mark Kaplan and cellist Clancy Newman made a fine team, twining and
dovetailing their lines to eloquent effect, not least in Schubert’s expansively
lyrical writing. Underpinning the strings was pianist Yael Weiss’s liquid tone
and unfailingly wise phrasing"
Washington Post
“an immensely accomplished ensemble…. This is almost certainly how Brahms wanted
and expected his music to be played…”
International Record Review
“…performances were splendid and idiomatic…”
The Washington Post
”All three performers were able to project a strong musical
personality while nurturing a fine ensemble sound.”
Classical Sonoma
”Newman’s magnificently resonant cello, Kaplan’s soaring violin at its sweetest,
and Weiss’ piano in gently rhapsodic mode gave the music a special bloom,
exquisite, ardent, and fresh.”
Herald-Times
"Great ensemble playing"
The Washington Post
"a class act!"
Deseret News
"A beguiling, energetic new chapter"
New York Sun
"Dynamic new ensemble"
Chamber Music Magazine
"Then there was [the trio] itself. When it played Beethoven's overexposed
"Archduke" Trio, every moment felt new. How often does that happen?
Philadelphia Inquirer
"The dovetailing of give-and-take among the members...was seamless, and their
playing swept up the listener....This performance was delightful in every
respect.... With ethereal pianissimos, lockstep ensemble, and heart-felt
phrasing, [the trio] gave one of the most completely convincing interpretations
of this sprawling jewel [Schubert Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat] that I have
heard."

"...the June 8 concert proved the trio in fine
form. Haydn's E-major Trio revealed Weiss's clean, crisp, articulate
keyboard work, in a first movement full of gumption and a finale that
had plenty of declarative spirit and controlled momentum. It seemed a
logical step from there into Brahms's C-minor Trio, Op. 101, where the Energico first movement lived up to the name and had its fair share of
bite and grit without sacrificing the warmth of its melting string
melody. The fast movement was elegant and deft, the Andante grazioso
flexible and tender, the finale assertive while paying due attention
to the softer aspects of the movement." American Record
