Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman
Mendelssohn Piano Trios
This is the first-ever recording by this amazing trio ... each a superstar in his own right.
Itzhak Perlman - Violin
Yo-Yo Ma - Cello
Emanuel Ax - Piano
Mendelssohn's piano trio No. 1 is recognized as one of the composer's best chamber works and it is certainly one of his most popular.
"Mendelssohn is the Mozart of the nineteenth century, the most illuminating of musicians, who sees more clearly than others through the contradictions of our era and is the first to reconcile them." This was the judgement of no less a connoisseur than Robert Schumann, writing about the D-Minor Piano Trio, the first of Mendelssohn's two masterpieces for piano, violin and cello.
- Taken from Emanuel Ax' comments in the CD booklet. |
