5 out of 5 stars Excellent performances of Rach's piano trios.......2006-01-15

In my opinion, these are the best recorded versions of Rachmaninov's two Trio Elegiaques available today. The Bekova Sisters give us superlative performances of these two challenging pieces, providing an expertly balanced interplay between violin, cello, and piano that is filled with great nuance and heartfelt passion. For those who think Rachmaninov only wrote melody-laden piano concertos, these trios are further proof of his genius at composing great chamber music. Check out his cello sonata for further proof.
