    Kalevi Aho Chamber works

    Jaakko Kuusisto, Pekka Kuusisto (violin) BIS BIS-2186

    Kilian Herold, Peter-Philipp Staemmler, Hansjacob Staemmler CAvi-music AVI 8553479

    Largely engaging performances with some impressive agility on display, particularly from clarinettist Kilian Herold, though there are occasional flat-footed moments too. (JP) ★★★★

    Beethoven Piano Trios

    Sitkovetsky Trio BIS BIS-2239
