Germany´s leading Hifi Magazine, fono forum, hailed the „vibrant and glowing” performances of Beethoven´s Opus 70 Trios as a major addition to the catalog.

Recent notable Xyrion Trio appearances worldwide have included a tour of Germany performing Beethoven´s Triple Concerto with the Orchestre Sinfonique de Liege and its chief conductor Louis Langree, a 10-city celebrity tour of New Zealand, concerts on the „MS Deutschland” as well as concerts throughout Germany, Switzerland, Spain and France.
