Beethoven | Piano Trios · Volumes 1 & 2 [Re-Up] [Fixed]

Vladimir Ashkenazy piano · Itzhak Perlman violin · Lynn Harrell violoncello
4 CD

The players are Vladimir Ashkenazy on piano, Itzhak Perlman on violin and Lynn Harrell on cello. The first two are big names from the 1980s, and Harrell is a first class player, if much less well known. So you would expect a first class performance, and that's what you get. Ashkenazy leads but never dominates, the performace is light and airy, precise, often delicate, and joyful. It's the best "Archduke" I have heard, and that is the one you will come back to time
