Mendelssohn, Brahms, Dvorak: Piano Trios
The K-L-R Trio's brief tenure with Vox produced these recordings of  Romantic chamber-music masterpieces. This is an exceptionally virtuosic  ensemble, made up of three soloists who have devoted part of every year to  performing together for a couple of decades. As a result, their performances are  extremely powerful yet very well integrated, certainly a desirable combination  in repertoire like this. They even do a very idiomatic job of playing Dvorák,  while their Brahms and Mendelssohn are really superb. Not only are these  performances far above the normal standard for budget recordings, but they are  also fine digital recordings.--Leslie Gerber
