The third disc in the series, ‘History of the Russian Piano Trio’, has now reached the late Nineteenth century, and the onset of music from the students of Mily Balakirev.
It included the young Rimsky-Korsakov, and for his part, it was the colourful orchestral works and operas that began to dominate the public perspective of his compositions. In reality he was also engaged in scores across the whole spectrum of classical music, including a number of works for chamber ensembles. The reason why he never completed his journey into the Piano Trio begun in 1897, we shall never know, the score completed by his son-in-law, Maximilian Steinberg, in 1939. Even today the work is seldom performed and rarely recorded, the four movements lasting a little over forty minutes. After a very fulsome opening Allegro, a short and spiky scherzo is a foil to the soothing sounds of a typically yearning Russian slow movement. Then, to please any performing trio, we enter into a volatile finale oozing with virtuosity. The short work by Cesar Cui started out life as part of nine pieces for solo piano — Piano characteristiques — was then orchestrated, and then, we presume, this short second piece was transcribed by Cui. It certainly sits very happily in this Piano Trio context. By comparison Borodin’s Piano Trio from 1860 is much better known, though like much of this part-time composer’s music, it remained unpublished on his death and was only rediscovered in 1950. It may have originally been in four movements, but only three existed. This, and the whole disc is vividly brought to life by The Brahms Trio, the string intonation so spotlessly clean, their tonal quality absolutely gorgeous, while the piano in their Moscow Conservatory is a joy to hear. Add a recorded sound quality that you will seldom hear, and you have an unmissable release. © 2021 David’s Review Corner
