Extensive studies with various highly renowned musicians paved the trio’s way to an international career soon after. The most important teachers and mentors of the ensemble include Isaac Stern, Ralph Kirschbaum… Show more and Joseph Kalichstein as well as the members of the Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Guarneri Quartet and the LaSalle Quartet.

"... in this class-act concert, Schubert and the Vienna Trio made it all seem easy, from the opening seconds, Schubert´s Trio in B flat major, D898, sounded youthful, energetic, and above all, confident." - The Oxford Times

"The ensemble makes it all logical, nicely paced to bring out all the formal values, but with enough fantasy and imagination to make all the work´s special moments richly rewarding." - The Vancouver Sun
