Writer Stephen Estep and publisher Jim Hannon kindly gave us permission to share Steve’s rave March review in The Absolute Sound celebrating Janaki String Trio’s Young Beethoven LP!
… Yarlung released the Penderecki and Barabba on a 45rpm platter a few years ago, and that landed a spot on our Super LP List; this Beethoven belongs there too. The impressively natural miking picks up the instruments’ resonance and overtones….
…Three instruments rather than a string quartet… means turbulent emotions are balanced by transparent textures in a delectable tension.
…wit and laughter. The Janaki Trio conveys all this in a vivid pulsating performance.
–Stephen Estep
