"When listening to this wonderful music, it becomes clear to me how RGG Trio approach their music with careful minds and with souls humbly filled with respect for the occasion. Their consciousness of sound and space marks the fact that this is a european ensemble well aware of all different parameters in music worth attention and focus. Also, Rgg trio´s belief in what music can express and achieve is, I feel, obvious to the listener. The result on this recording is a musical artefact derived from consequent choices, a music filling the room with a kind of seriousness and sacred light- an elegant statement from 3 warm and thoughtful intellects".
