«If there is another month that alone justifies listening to this recording and the well-deserved success of Zadig, it is without question October. Listen to this subtle inflection of tempo, from the twentieth second, by the violinist Boris Borgolotto. In one hesitation, everything is said. "The three friends do not play, they sing. See how from the weeping of Marc Girard Garcia's cello is born, at 2'40, this obsessive and haunting line of the piano. Like a reminiscence of happiness with a fragile light, sublimated by the incredibly tender playing of the American lan Barber. Sometimes, the strength of an interpretation lies in its fragility. This is the case here, my favorite of the week.»

«... In Beethoven's Fifth Piano Trio, Zadig found the ghostly sound to which the piece owes its nickname Geister - ghostly apparition. Especially in the 'Largo' it seemed as if the trio was descending into a mysterious crypt: pianist Ian Barber sometimes gave voice to the footsteps on the stairs, cellist Marc Girard Garcia and violinist Borgolotto embodied the voices that were singing their way out of the dark depths.
The highlight was Dvorak's monumental Dumky Trio. Zadig allowed the six movements to grow into chapters in an epic story, and their instruments became characters, brothers or childhood friends who meet again after many years, embrace each other, reminisce about tempestuous adventures and old loves, sometimes quarrel and are overcome by melancholy about times gone by...»

Review of the Trio Zadig concert at Salle Cortot by Clara Leonardi:

"The climbs in power are lightning fast, the changes in character are abrupt, the silences are striking"
"violin and cello take over the stage, with a sound that is both warm and brilliant, enhanced by vibrato"
"an unshakeable piano whose precision of articulation remains, from one end of the work to the other, remarkable"
