\u201cNot by chance did the trio name itself after the son of the Greek Sun God Helios. Phaeton, the shining one, drove his father\u2019s sun chariot harnessed with four fiery steeds across the sky during the day, returning at night to the sea. As demanding the name is, so fantastic is the ensemble\u201d. IPF-UND JAGD ZEITUNG<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
