PIANO TRIOS 1 & 2

Borodin Trio

Often referred to as one of the greatest of child prodigies, Mendelssohn in his maturity wrote two well-known piano trios that stand as peaks among his chamber music compositions.

This recording of deeply committed performances by the legendary Borodin Trio represents excellent value for money on the market.

Mendelssohn:
 Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49
 Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66

"Some may find the Borodin Trio's approach to first movements a touch wayward, but most will warm to the full-blooded Romanticism of their way with Mendelssohn. The scherzos in particular have a magical lightness; recording is warmly supportive."
