Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Three Virtuosos
Review: At the time of this performance (the late 1980's) these performers (a violinist, a cellist and a pianist) were still young, but their skills were those of mature masters. They play with rich tone, technical brilliance, and interpretive subtlety. Their program consists of three stylistically diverse works: Mozart's Trio in B Flat Major, K. 502; Brahms' Trio in C Major, Op. 87; and Hans Werner Henze's Kammersonate.

The Mozart and Brahms works are both masterpieces and receive performances that do them justice. The Henze piece (an early work from 1948) is not on the same artistic level as the other two, but it is the work of a highly accomplished and talented professional, and it is brilliantly performed. Camera work and picture and sound quality are excellent.
