excellent April 21, 2008
One of Felix Mendelssohn best compositions. Piano Trio # 2(op. 66), though not as well known, might be a little better then the 1st piano trio (op.49). Though it's really splitting hairs, because this some of the finest chamber music from one of classical musics greatest composers. If you like piano based chamber music, check this one out it's one of the best.

The CD arrived quickly and in excellent shape. The CD created the chamber music atmosphere with its seeming real life sounds.
 A great trio in not quite top form November 28, 2007

To hold back the general decline of chambe music, famous mucisians band together to entice public interest. Today we have Martha Argerich leading the way; forty years ago it was Isaac Stern (and many cohorts from the Marlboro Festival rallying around Casals and Serkin). On the whole, I enjoy the relzed older style that is represented here. The Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio was made up of virtuosos, but they don't show off in the genial Mendelssohn piano trios. rgerich does, and her propulsive, nervy, spontaneous style lights a spark under the Trio #1 (EMI) in a way that we don't get here. Just compare her feiry palying in the Scherzo to Istomin's more correct, elegant approach. In every respect these are fine performances in an older style, recorded well by Columbia/CBS. I just think that these two trios need a bit more advocacy of the kind Argerich, and also Julia fischer (Pentatone), provides.
The best performance of these trios. June 2, 2007

This is the best performance rendered to these trios.
The Best! May 14, 2007

Mendelssohn wrote several works that can safely be called "Masterpieces." His piano trios are most certainly amongst them. Add to that the famed Stern, Istomen and Rose trio, with their bouncy, passionate and absolutely precise rendering of these classics and you have the definitive recording of the Mendelssohn trios. Period.
