“The Amelia Piano Trio...exuded a real sense of command...”
- The New York Times
“...the three musicians seemed in total accord as to intrepretation, and their pleasure in working with each other was patent. The technical proficiencey, the exquisite focus of the string sound, the breath, nobility, and delicacy of the pianist’s contribution, the grace and intensity of the singing lines, the emotional intensity and truth of all the playing (yet without any nreach of decorum or style) - you just don’t hear better chamber music than this.”
- San Diego Reader
