In every piece, these dynamic, fearless performers eventually broke into frenzied episodes that sounded anything but trifling.Yet the cheers from the audience were just as enthusiastic after the most mellow bagatelle, music run through with an almost obsessively repetitive lapping bass riff in the piano and jazzy ruminations on the violin."
