"Nabil Shehata performs with distinction the twenty-minute Sonata for double bass." MusicWeb International, 13th May 2014
"These are very committed performances by instrumentalists with a real feel for the music. Sound quality and instrumental balance throughout is first rate. Booklet notes in German and English are informative as is usually the norm with CPO. All in all, this is a very desirable release." (MusicWeb)
"Mieczyslaw Weinberg's piano trio has all the makings of a masterpiece. It's gripping from the first seconds, and it never lets you go. Weinberg is in the middle of a huge revival, as his voice is heard ever clearer and stronger from the Soviet din. This outstanding piano trio could become one of the cornerstones of the global repertoire...the present CD would make an excellent introduction to Weinberg's music. If you've never heard him before, start here and now, without delay. The other reason to start here is even more compelling: his is one of the best, most powerful piano trios of the past century. Need I say more?" (MusicWeb recording of the Month Oct 2014)
