Johannes Brahms
Piano Trios Vol. 1
Trio for piano, violin and violoncello no. 1 in B major op. 8 (published 1854)
EAN/barcode: 4009850008408
Twice Brahms worked on his first piano trio [op. 8]: in 1854, when he put it to paper [...] and 1889, when he worked on it again and thoroughly revised it. [...] Both versions have their merit and, more importantly still, their own specific musical charm. This applies particularly to the finely chiselled interpretations by the Abegg Trio [...].

Fanfare (01/01/2000):
"With some other chamber-music discs reviewed in Fanfare 22:6, the German label Tacet drew some warm recommendation from my colleague James H. North for its recorded sound. A similar enthusiasm is certainly called for here: One of the first things that struck me about this pair of releases is the exemplary warmth, clarity, colour, and balance achieved ... more...Audio (01/01/2000):
