Lindsays and friends play Brahms sextets. If you heard this in a concert you'd be on the edge of your seat and up at the end shouting "Bravo!" The climaxes are so well managed, so thrilling, it completely effaces the memory of all others.

Totally charming, gorgeous sounding, involving Piano Trio op 87 from Trio Sora.

The amount of Brahms chamber music recordings these days is baffling...
Not long ago one could count the available recordings of the piano trios on the fingers of one hand.

But I'd prefer recordings with a period piano, because of the necessary balance between the instruments.

For a second, I thought Florestan wrote this! :laugh:

Oh, I like Brahms's chamber music a lot.
