PIANO TRIOS

 

Smetana: Trio Op. 15 G minor

Tchaikovsky: Trio Op. 50 A minor

 

Vienna Piano Trio

 

The Vienna Piano Trio follow their award winning performances of the piano trios of Dvorák, Schubert, Mahler, Schönberg, and Zemlinsky with stunning interpretations of the great trios of Smetana and Tchaikovsky.

 

“But what makes this disc especially recommendable is the inclusion of Smetana’s G minor Piano Trio, which the composer himself premiered in 1855. All three movements are in the home key and thematically linked yet are enticingly diverse…..the rondo finale bursts with energy (especially as presented here). All in all a real winner of a disc that can be highly recommended on all counts.” Gramophone, February 2009, Editor’s Choice
