Schubert's Piano Trios

[samtrb]

Any recommendations for Schubert second piano trio D929 (op.100) preferebly not out of print ?
Thanks

The Beaux recorded a very fine set when they were still in their prime (1960s circa), and it's readily available. I'm not as familiar with those works as i'd like (yet), but i wanted to pinch in anyway.

I like the Beaux Arts Trio in this also. They still sound fresh, which is not always the case when relistening.

The very recent 2-CD set from the Capuçon brothers, with Frank Braley. It has all the Schubert piano trio music, in excellent recordings, with excellent playing. Give it a go for 20 years, then go back and look again.

Hip and OOP, but still available at reasonable (cheap) prices at amazon: L'Archibudelli before they were L'Archibudelli!




Modern, excellent quality, and easy to find at good prices: The Florestan Trio

I like a dark horse: Trio de Trieste. They play that slow movement deliciously.

I also like Que's Historical pick: Serkin/Busch. 

This is such a great work, I'd like to have ten recordings of it.

Forgot to mention that when going for HIP with the Gaia Scienza - it's a stunning and deeply satisfying performance - best deal is the double CD with the other trio:

Interesting recommendation, will check it out!

I would be most interested in any comments on these:

My favorite is the version of Adolf and Hermann Busch with Serkin. It is old, but very dramatic, and they are sublime in the Andante.

The version of Istomin, Stern and Rose is good but Istomin is not Serkin, in special in the Andante.

The version of the Beaux Arts Trio is very classic and balanced, but seems a little pale compared to the other two.

I never liked much the version of Menuhin, Gendron and Hephzibah Menuhin.

I have been told that the version of Rubinstein, Szeryng and Fournier is superb, but I never had the occasion to hear it.

The Schiff, Perenyi and Shiokawa looks quite promising.  I really liked the Beethoven Cello music album by Schiff and Perenyi. 

I don't know the Trio Wanderer.

Another HIP recording that I'm still trying to obtain includes Beethoven's Archduke Trio with Schubert's Trio in E flat major.

Another vote for the Beaux Arts Trio

Ah okay Florestan Trio check it out!

I haven't heard those, but I've never heard a bad recording from the Florestan Trio.

[Gurn Blanston]

I heard samples of the Gaia Scienza's Brahms PQ. WOW!! Who else plays like them??

There are probably others, but their big advantage over everyone else is the outstanding recording by Winter & Winter. This is the best sounding recording I can think of, and without doubt helps the band (who are pretty dadgum good anyway).

Yea, I heard a slithery juiciness  in that recording that was impressive.

If there is a Thread, go ahead and attached me, please.


I'd like some off-the-wall recommends please, so, yea, no you-know-who.


I was curious about the L'Archibudelli(sic)/ Bylsma(sic),... the one that has both PTs on one disc.

Or, what about the Harmonia Mundi (two versions), or the Capucin(sic)Bros. on Virgin? Fontenay? (they get the highest marks for this issue) Harrell/Ashkenazy? ASV? BIS? TUP?


Frankly, I remember the famous bit from the vampire movie The Hunger (anyone?) with David Bowie. It was, apparently, very slow there. I seem to recall hearing the BAT, who play it 'normal', and being waaay disappointed (man). How slow are you allowed to play it, or, who's your fav bizarro version of this MostFamousMusic?

If this were a Poll, it would be Secret, and would be, "How Many of You Groaned When You Say this Thread Title?".

[DavidW]

I remember the Schubert from the Hunger, it was beautiful!  Here are the performers (I googled them):Ralph Holmes, Raphael Wallfisch and Howard Shelley.
