Janaki String Trio - Young Beethoven

Janaki String Trio’s Young Beethoven Is Musical and Sonic Gold

Yarlung 180g 45rpm LP lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman

In this, the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birthday, Yarlung Records offers a recording worthy of the master, a delectation from the Janaki String Trio….

…supremely self-assured emplacement of the violin, viola and cello in their respective positions in the soundstage.…  There is no smearing, no blurring, no nothing to interfere with your enjoyment of the music.

This crack ensemble was in its matutinal hours during this performance, but it remains a treat to listen to this recording. Yarlung, you could even say, with this LP has hit a hole in one.

–Ty Webb, writing for Analog Planet, September 28th, 2020  Read the article here.

Mr. Webb gives Young Beethoven 10 for the music and 10 for sound.   Young Beethoven and Janaki String Trio debut are two 180 Gram 45rpm vinyl pressings also available in a single CD.   Selected tracks of this music are available in DSD and on analog tape as well. 

The first LP, Janaki String Trio debut made Jon Valin’s famous Super LP List.  Many thanks to executive producer Elliot Midwood.

Young Beethoven was graciously underwritten by Carlos & Haydee Mollura.

The release on NativeDSD was generously underwritten by PS Audio and executive produced by Elliot Midwood. 

As you can tell, this recording has been a success thanks to the wider Yarlung family, not to mention Serena, Katie and Arnold, our phenomenal musicians for whom we all work so they can do their best.

Thank you!

–Bob Attiyeh, producer
