‘The Seraphim Trio was on top form and brought those priceless assets of complete clarity and absolute assurance in interpretation to the two major works in their program… Indeed, it comes as a surprise that such comparatively youthful players can have been playing together for 10 years, but it certainly shows in the keen empathy and rapport permeating everything they do.’

Rodney Smith, The Advertiser, February 2005

‘The group is now a mature one, despite the members’ youth, and their performance and assurance through draining passages show a professional sophistication of interpretation…For a good measure of the ensemble’s abilities, it was hard to go past their fine work in the Mozart trio’s central Larghetto…this movement made an engrossing experience: an ideal merging of elegant technique.’

Clive O’Connell, The Age, February 2005

‘In the Schubert Piano Quintet in A, the Trout, the central performers – piano, violin and cello – was the Seraphim Trio… they accounted for this optimistic, unfailingly inventive masterpiece with an attractive blend of insistence and controlled languor.’

Clive O’Connell, The Age, September 2003

‘They are players of exceptional poise and intelligence… Superb was the word.’

The Adelaide Review, September 2001

‘The Seraphim Trio’s Anna Goldsworthy, Helen Ayres and Tim Nankervis are excellent musicians. Their sparkling performance of Beethoven’s first piano trio left that in no doubt.’

Stephen Whittington, The Advertiser, August 2001

‘The group’s account of the piece was wholly persuasive: but their account of the Brahms was much more than this – passionate, technically secure, well balanced and always alert to the shirting emotions and rhythms, with a firm understanding of the music’s argument and its spacious yet never rambling structure… Give me the commitment and the whole-heartedness of their approach any day.’

Michael Morley, The Adelaide Review, June 2000

‘An exhilarating, impressively assured performance finished this year’s Art Gallery series from the Seraphim Trio.’

Raymond Chapman Smith, The Advertiser, December 1999

‘In a superb performance, wonderfully sustained and engaging, the Seraphim Trio projected its collaborative delight to memorable effect.’
