Program notes
Brahms's Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8, is one of the German master's most beloved works. Composed when Brahms was just 20, this trio demonstrates the composer's ambition and prodigious talent—and already brims with the full expressive range of a young genius at the dawn of his career.
In this cycle of all three Brahms Piano Trios, Elena Bashkirova, Maxim Vengerov, and Boris Pergamenschikow trace the path of a legendary life in music over the course of several decades as only a carefully refined rapport between musicians of this calibre—capable of great subtlety and profound virtuosity—can do. A tribute worthy of the Brahmsian legacy!
