Richard Lester and Susan Tomes open the Andante with disarming simplicity – and just listen to the spontaneous dialogue between all three players later (between 5'00" and when the main theme returns so seductively at 6'14"). Their playing is emotionally strong‚ yet full of thoughtfully subtle‚ wonderfully responsive touches‚ as at the preparation for the firstmovement recapitulation‚ and the delightful interplay thereafter (10'29" and onwards).

The glorious Schubert B flat major Trio‚ like Beethoven’s Archduke‚ opens with a great‚ memorable swinging tune‚ yet when the melody is gently repeated (0'57") the Florestan players show how completely they are within the Schubertian sensibility.
