History Of The Russian... - Brahms Trio - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Berlin is the focus of this eighth volume of the History of the Russian Piano Trio, which features two Russian composers who lived in the city. Nikolai Lopatnikoff’s symphonies were premiered by Bruno Walter and Serge Koussevitzky, and he was once ranked alongside Stravinsky. Lopatnikoff’s Piano Trio in A minor is an archetypal example of Russian modernism, unparalleled in its use of allusions, tonalities, and form. Paul Juon’s Suite in C major is full of elegant and vivid theatrical imagery, while his Piano Trio No. 1 in A minor employs charming stylised folk material influenced by Brahms.
