Abegg Trio Series Vol. XII

Johannes Brahms
Piano Trios Vol. 1

Trio for piano, violin and violoncello no. 1 in B major op. 8 (published 1854)

EAN/barcode: 4009850008408

Twice Brahms worked on his first piano trio [op. 8]: in 1854, when he put it to paper [...] and 1889, when he worked on it again and thoroughly revised it. [...] Both versions have their merit and, more importantly still, their own specific musical charm. This applies particularly to the finely chiselled interpretations by the Abegg Trio [...].

Fanfare (01/01/2000):

"With some other chamber-music discs reviewed in Fanfare 22:6, the German label Tacet drew some warm recommendation from my colleague James H. North for its recorded sound.

"Mit der drolligerweise zuerst vorgestellten Folge II der Brahms-Trios erspielten die Abeggs schon eine Platte des Monats (AUDIO 4/1991).
