Product description PHI 4387002; PHILIPS; Classica da camera Trio .co.uk Schubert's two piano trios are the products of his last years when, knowing that he was ill and dying, he still managed to produce dozens of songs and chamber music masterpieces, as well as pursue counterpoint studies and make plans for further orchestral and stage works. Add to this the earlier String Trio and a couple of miscellaneous single movements, and his output in "trio" form is complete. Both of the piano trios are typically large works, generously stuffed with first-rate tunes, some of which you may recognise without knowing exactly where they came from. These excellent performances at a "twofer" price offer the most convenient and cost effective way to get to know this marvellous music. --David Hurwitz

Excellent value and performances
Excellent performances and a bonus - I was expecting one CD and found two. I have a very old LP of Oistrach, Kushnevitsky and Oborin playing the B flat piano trio which I wanted to replace - now not only do I have an equally spirited performance of it but all the other trios as well - wonderful!Recommended.

Schubert's melodiousness and inventiveness are heard throughout
This is an enjoyable collection of music that few beyond his circle of friends would have heard in Schubert's short lifetime. The big "late" B flat and E flat pieces are the standout works, but Schubert's melodiousness and inventiveness are heard throughout.
