Rampant affected rhythm is a distraction

"There may be good qualities in the Yuval Trio's performance, but their disjointed and contrived liberties with the tempi make this recording impossible for me to listen to. I have no quarrels with rhythmic freedom when it is done with respect for the composer. The trio's violinist especially interrupts phrases and this compromises the general flow of the music."
Excellent idiomatic performances

"First rate performances, both from an interpretive and a technical perspective. Under the hands of the Yuval Trio these pieces have a convincing ebb and flow which happily avoid mechanical metronomic rigidity."
