Piano Trios (Nos. 1 & 2)

Felix Mendelssohn

Piano Trio

Eugene Istomin, Isaac Stern, Leonard Rose

60s and 70s

Gil's top choice. An all-star American group. They have a wonderful feel for this music, for the romantic phrasing, and are technically excellent.

Alfred Cortot, Jacques Thibaud, Pablo Casals

Historic recording of Trio No. 1.

The classic old trio. A really exciting, powerful version of the first piano trio that these artists really bring forth despite the primitive sound.
