In almost every respect this program is a success. The Beethoven folk-song settings of 1816 might look something of an outlier, with Auerbach’s nostalgic, bite-size Postscriptum (performed in a version for wordless voice, cello and piano) the one 21st-century item. Both prove delightful. The players’ sympathy with a range of styles is well established and Konradi’s idiomatic Russian is an obvious asset. - Gramophone (Chandos)
