"(...) a warm overall sound and skilful use of rubato and legato (...) Clarity, rhythmic precision and even a surprising lightness undiminished by firmness."

Patrick Szernoviccz, Diapason

"(...) this set of works positively glows thanks to the warmth of this intimate recording. Trio Sōra have a delectable evenness of tone, playing and seemingly breathing as one."

BBC Music Magazine

"The Sōra plunge into the romantic waves of Brahms. The trio's fluid, ethereal gesture marks a major achievement (...) an admirable album, which stands out today as a very great modern version of the complete Brahms trios."

Jérémie Cahen, Classica

"Technically, Trio Sōra are extremely impressive. Their ensemble has Boulezian precision, the strings' intonation is close to faultness and they clearly take great care over matters of articulation and balance. I especially appreciate how sensitive they are not only to Brahms' markings but also to the music's changing harmonic colours."

Andrew Farach-Colton, Gramophone

"The Trio Sora demonstrates a precise feel for proportions, transitions and the balance between strings and piano. And they understand that you simply have to let this wonderful music flow - cheeky and full of sound."

Philipp Cavert, NDR Kultur

"The Sōra Trio brings together all the facets of a fascinating Brahms, in so many nuances of sound, sparkles, allusive scintillations."

Alexandre Pham, ClassiqueNews

"A formidable version of Brahms' trios (...) which are read, recorded and played with absolutely extraordinary intelligence, sensitivity and musical delicacy."

France TV Info - Mélodies Nocturnes

"Classical or Romantic, in many ways Brahms's music is marked by tradition. But the musicians of the Trio Sōra give it a vitality that distances it from any conformism. A very fine recording."
