This DVD includes Brahms outstanding Trio in A minor for clarinet, cello and piano as well as the Trios Nos. 1, 2 and 3 for piano performed by the well–acclaimed pianist Elena Baschkirova, who established in 1988 the International Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival. Wenzel Fuchs (clarinet), Maxim Vengerov (violin), Boris Pergamenschikow (cello) and Dietmar Schwalke (cello) complete this extraordinary ensemble. New Release on Euroarts's sub-label: Recorded Excellence – Historical Value. The aim of the new series is to make accessible to music lovers and collectors top-quality recordings documenting extra-special concert performances that were hitherto unreleased or were no longer available, either for the first time or as re-releases on DVD. Brahms is famous for his blend of Classicism in form with a Romantic harmonic idiom. There is a singular beauty in the music Brahms wrote towards the end of his life, compositions of an autumnal melancholy to which the Trio for clarinet is particularly well suited.
