Trio Parnassus

Woldemar Bargiel is one of those composers who worked in the shadow of Schumann and Brahms and as a result is considered unoriginal and "second-rate." It's sad how musical "politics" of this type relegates wonderful music like these trios to the dustbins of history.
Written in 1857 and 1870 respectively, these two trios do not break formal ground but that is about the only bad thing you can say about them. They are tuneful, well put together and have a real feel for the possibilities of the medium. If you like the music of Bruch or, perhaps, Dvorak (without the Czech accent) you'll love these.
The Trio Parnassus, which seems to be MDG's house trio, approach these pieces with respect for their high quality and musical worth and enjoy themselves throughout. They don't condescend to them or overplay them trying to sell them and both pieces bloom wonderfully. MDG's sound is up to their high standard.
If you enjoy romantic chamber music, don't hestitate to get this. It may be off the beaten track, but it shouldn't be. Maybe this recording will encourage people to beat a new track. (One can only hope.)
