Beethoven - Pianotrio 5 & 7

Facts These are taken from the Beaux Arts Trio's highly acclaimed second cycle of Beethoven's complete works for piano trio. As a group the line-up of Menahem Pressler, Isidore Cohen, and Bernard Greenhouse at this point was ideal, and perform with a complimentary unity few ensembles ever attain. Their approach is characteristically grand and boldly romantic with judicious tempos and special care taken drawing out Beethoven's wealth of inner detail. Philips sound is also quite good with convincing presence and detail.
