Rachmaninov: Piano Trios

1. Klaviertrio Nr. 1 g-moll "Élégiaque"
2. 1. Moderato
3. 2. Quasi variazione: Andante
4. 3. Allegro risoluto
5. Andante con moto c-moll
6. Elegie Des-Dur op. 23 (für Klavier, Violine und Violoncello)

Rachmaninoff's output of chamber music is small but all the more precious for that. Two absolute gems bear witness to the fact: these ‘elegiac trios’, which were produced by a young composer still indisputably under the influence of Tchaikovsky. But Rachmaninoff’s personality is already fully present, reaching heights of emotion and expressiveness. The pieces by Suk and Grieg add a further touch of character to the picture, which is painted with an exceptionally rich palette: the artistry of the phenomenal Trio Wanderer!
