Since its founding in 1998, the Swiss Piano Trio has earned a remarkable reputation among experts and audiences as an ensemble of exceptional homogeneity and technical perfection, whose interpretations delight with great emotionality and orchestral sound. So it is not surprising that the ensemble was described in the US magazine Fanfare as “one of the very top piano trio ensembles on today's stage” .

Great competition successes laid the foundation for the Swiss piano trio to perform worldwide concerts. The ensemble won first prize at the Austrian Johannes Brahms Competition in 2005, after having also won first prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Caltanissetta in 2003. In 2005 the trio was presented with the Swiss Ambassador's Award at Wigmore Hall London. The Swiss piano trio received important artistic impulses from Menahem Pressler from the Beaux Arts Trio, from the Vienna Altenberg Trio, the Trio di Milano, Valentin Berlinsky from the Borodin Quartet Moscow and from members of the Amadeus Quartet.
