5.0 out of 5 stars A Trio made by God..., June 10, 2000

This review is from: Beethoven: Piano Trios Nos. 6 - Archduke & 7 ~ Ashkenazy / Perlman / Harrell (Audio CD)

I have heard several versions of Beethoven's famous "Archduke Trio" and have found that the one included on this cd is the best. The piano work in the second movement is remarkable. Ashkenazy's interpretation of this Beethoven trio are extraordinary. It beats the Beaux Arts Trio interpretation dramatically and makes the music flow more. The string work of Perlman and Harrell makes the listener hear what the violin and cello were meant to sound like in this piece. I give this cd five stars.

This review is from: Beethoven: Piano Trios Nos. 6 - Archduke & 7 ~ Ashkenazy / Perlman / Harrell (Audio CD)

The Archduke Trio is a work of sublime beauty, one of the great works of all chamber music. This is an outstanding performance and recording in every way, with flawless ensemble and even the great Perlman for once not dominating but content to contribute to the synergy that comes from the three instrumentalists playing as one. And while I am not the biggest Ashkenazy fan in the world, sometimes finding his playing too flat, he is wonderful here, conveying a serene sense of beauty and holding the work together admirably.
