  • “In the second piano trio – written in response to the death of Rachmaninov’s mentor Peter Tchaikovsky – the three artists interpret the opening movement brilliantly: with the initially stereotypical accompaniment patterns in the piano as a projection screen for the other two instruments – until all three merge in a dramatic climax.”Bernd Wladika, Das Orchester/Schott
