Planes Dukes Rahman Trio
(ASV CD DCA 1133)
‘In this impressive collection of chamber music by Bruch, the Plane Dukes Rahman have once again attained the highest musical standards in their dedicated, sensitive performances…The final ‘8 Pieces’ for clarinet, viola and piano on this disc are full of crystal-clear melodies, highlighted throughout by lyrical sweeps of phrasing in an immaculate performance. Overall, a cd of simple, vivid, romantic beauty.’
BBC Classical Review 2003
“Congratulations to Robert Plane (clarinet), Philip Dukes (viola) and Sophia Rahman (piano), who this month celebrate ten years of playing together as a trio. The sight of their names on a CD cover or concert programme always excites the highest expectations of imaginative and dedicated musicianship and, as usual, this disc entirely fulfils that promise.”
