They made radio recordings for the VRT (Belgium), AVRO (Holland) RAI (Italy), the Polish Radio and are presently recording their second CD.
The trio's repertoire consists out of more than 60 trios and represents the complete spectrum of the piano trio literature beginning from the Viennese classics, through romantics to the twentieth century, but also reaches far beyond the limits of the conventional repertoire. It is rich in less known masterpieces like: Aljabjev, Rubinstein, Martin, Castelnuovo Tedesco or Villa Lobos; post-soviet composers like Korndorf, Pärt, Schnitke, Silvestrov, Tarnopolsky, Ustvolskaya, Vasks... and Belgian composers like B.
