The Plymouth Trio's first Crystal Records compact disc was released in 1991 and met with an enthusiastic response. The National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) commented as follows: "This colorful program is a juxtaposition of the new and the old. ..with a fine sense of ensemble and style. It offers a well-structured, skillfully presented program."
