“Trained in Leningrad but resident in Germany since 1992, Jascha Nemtsov has been making a name for himself both as pianist and scholar, mainly for his work with little-known music by Soviet Jewish composers. In these trios he is fully the equal of his better-known partners, displaying an admirably clean technique and a sensitive but never self-indulgent temperament. … The Weinberg alone would make this a strong recommendation but the Shostakovich is also competitive with the best on disc – a tellingly characterised and superbly structured account.”
