It is also good to be introduced to Tomasini as a composer, someone we only knew from the history books as a brilliant violinist and personal friend of Haydn. In addition, the Esterházy Ensemble gives excellent performances here, entertaining where called for, and also exploring the depths these trios contain. This is a disc for adventurous music lovers to whom I recommend it without reservation.</div> <bR> <div> Johan van Veen </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>„Momus“ , Budapest, September 11. 2003</B></div> <bR> <div> … The Esterhaza Castle is a jewel, and also the already renowned Haydn Festival taking place there every year.  Though being far away from Budapest, you can enjoy to hear groups like “Il Giardino Armonico” and “Esterhazy Ensemble”…..</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> (www.momus.hu/article.php?id=1228)</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Fuldaer Zeitung, 28.3. 2000</B></div> <bR> <div> The concert of the Esterhazy Ensemble was exceptionel.  The audience could listen to sounds of historic instruments, you can´t hear everyday …. and the music was presented by specialists of their faculty, who had studied the specialities of their instruments and of the historic “Aufführungspraxis”  thoroughly.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Reiner Ruhl</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Schwäbische Zeitung, Leutkirch, 25.2. 2002</B></div> <div> <I><B>Klassik im Schwörsaal</B></I></div> <bR> <div> … the musicians proved to be virtuosos on their instrument…</div> <bR> <div> <I>H.D.
