The London Mozart Trio's debut recital disc combining Schubert and Dvorak Trios received unanimous praise from the musical press. Schubert's Trio in B flat D898 was chosen as "the overall first choice" from all 20 currently available recordings by the BBC in their series Building a Library. The success of this debut recording led to numerous performances at festivals and major concert halls throughout the UK, plus an invitation to the Amsterdam Mozart Festival and a flirther recording of Schubert and Dvorak Trios on Carlton's IMP Masters label. Since then the ensemble has gone from strength to strength and is now a frequent and popular contributor to radio programmes in Britain and abroad. Recently the London Mozart Trio returned from an extensive concert tour of Ireland where their performances were enthusiastically received by public and press alike.
