"Shades of Brahms in easy, inventive Fuchs, attractively played by the Gould Trio"
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Feb 2006

"Unfailingly tuneful and enjoyable, Robert Fuchs's Piano Trios are an easily accessible way to get to know a composer whom Brahms greatly admired (and who himself taught the likes of Mahler, Wolf and Sibelius).
In his time Fuchs was very highly regarded, with one critic famously pointing to Fuchsisms in Mahler's Second Symphony.Lucy Gould, Alice Neary and Benjamin Frith are delightful partners, clearly having a ball; their enthusiasm is infectious."
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Feb 2006

Quartz are proud to present the Gould Piano Trio's second recordings for them - World premiere recordings of Robert Fuchs' first two piano trios. Robert Fuchs was a major (although currently undervalued) composer of the 19th Century and a contemporary of Brahms who was a major influence on many other composers, including Mahler, Sibelius, Wolf and Zemlinsky.
