Description
The ultimate piano trio: Tchaikovsky’s forty-five-minute monument to his friend and mentor Nikolai Rubinstein, written after the latter’s death in 1881, overwhelms us with its epic force and turbulent sorrow. But the cheerful sides of this great Russian musical personality can also be heard. Performing it alongside trios by Beethoven and American composer George Walker, the Busch Trio covers a wide spectrum.
