Polished technique and musical imagination at Kennedy Center: The Morgenstern Trio gave a smashing debut Thursday evening at the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater. [...] In works by Ravel, Bernstein and Brahms, the group displayed a unanimity, polished technique and musical imagination that I thought had vanished from the scene with the demise of the Beaux Arts Trio. The Morgenstern has, first and foremost, a pianist of otherworldly skill and sensitivity. [...] I don't believe I've ever heard so many of the string colors and sound effects in the Ravel Trio - certainly not in a live performance. [...] the Morgenstern's clarity of musical detail and technical excellence made this a night to remember. This was one of the best concerts I've heard all season.
