Brahms, Violin Concerto / Violin Sonata No. 3

David Oistrakh (violin), George Szell/Cleveland Orchestra (concerto), Vladimir Yampolsky (piano, sonata) (EMI)

... be sure you check out the Klemperer/ Oistrakh version too ..., i think it is more robust.

Excellent 👌👍 ....

[soulpope]

Recorded @ Wigmore Hall on June 4th. 1991 .... what a joy ....

[Referentzhunter]

Symphony No. 9

[HutchFan]

Brahms: Complete Trios / Beaux Arts Trio, et al (Philips, 2 CDs)

Last night:
Piano Trio No. 2 in C, Op. 87

Today:
Piano Trio No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 101 and Clarinet Trio in A Minor, Op. 114 (with George Pieterson, cl)

Like they say, Brahms was always a symphonist, even when he was writing chamber music.   

Sublime performances by the Beaux Arts Trio.

As you say, @soulpope, it's no surprise that this performance is superb.  I've never heard it, but I have heard Tennstedt's 1988 live M5 with the London PO.  It's transcendent.

Tennstedt's "live" Mahler perfomances are legendary and rightly so ....
