Schubert Beaux Arts Trio - Piano Trio Klaviertrio Nr2 D929 Trio D28 Sonate

Review by Paul Sandel

The album Piano Trio Klaviertrio Nr2 D929 Trio D28 Sonate by Schubert Beaux Arts Trio is an exceptional musical experience. The trio, consisting of violinist Isidore Cohen, cellist Bernard Greenhouse, and pianist Menahem Pressler, have a remarkable chemistry that is evident in every note they play.

The album features three works by Franz Schubert, including the famous Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, D. 929. The trio's interpretation of this piece is masterful, with each musician displaying exceptional technical skill and emotional depth. The slow movement is particularly moving, with the cello and violin weaving together in a haunting melody while the piano provides a gentle accompaniment.

The Trio D28, a lesser-known work by Schubert, is also a standout on the album. The trio's performance is lively and energetic, with each musician contributing to the joyful, almost dance-like quality of the piece.

Throughout the album, the Beaux Arts Trio's attention to detail and sensitivity to the music is evident. They play with precision and passion, bringing Schubert's compositions to life in a way that is both powerful and intimate.

Summary by Paul Sandel

Piano Trio Klaviertrio Nr2 D929 Trio D28 Sonate by Schubert Beaux Arts Trio is a must-listen for any fan of classical music. The trio's exceptional musicianship and deep understanding of Schubert's music make this album a true masterpiece.
