Brahms: Piano Trios Nos. 1 & 3

Brahms: Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8 Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101

Gutman Trio This recording presents the CD debut on Brilliant Classics of the Gutman Trio, named after Natalia Gutman, world famous cellist, one of the few surviving of the generation of 20th century Soviet musicians, like Richter, Gilels, Kogan, Kagan, Rostropovich and Oistrakh. For their debut CD they chose two of the cornerstones of the romantic piano trio repertoire, the first and third piano trio by Brahms. The first trio Op. 8 is a gorgeous work from Brahms’ early years, brimming with youthful passion and vitality; the third trio is in C minor mood, dark, grim and powerful. New recordings, the first of a series of recordings with the Gutman Trio! Liner notes in English and German. “The Gutman Trio’s readings of these wonderfully lyrical piano trios are a delight. The ensemble playing is vital, neat and accurate and beautifully nuanced. The piano parts in both Trios are both exquisitely crafted and rendered - a joy to the ear.” MusicWeb International, 14th February 2014
