		Pressler is the founder of the Beaux Arts Trio, the standard to which chamber music has been held for the past 50 years.
		Pressler has done countless interviews for features in newspapers and magazines around the world, and while he doesn't eschew media attention, he gets tired of being asked the same questions about the origins of the Beaux Arts Trio, and about recording versus playing a concert.
		Though Pressler has had his share of downs - feeling at times that he wasn't appreciated, or that he was running himself into a brick wall, musically - that music, he says, has been both the caviar of his life and the bread for his soul.

	Bronson Piano Studio
		The founder of the trio, pianist Menahem Pressler, is the sole remaining member of the original trio, since the other original members, violinist Daniel Guilet and cellist Bernard Greenhouse, retired some years ago.
		Throughout this concert it was obvious that Pressler knew his music so well (he rarely looked at the score) that his principle preoccupation during the concert was an intense listening to his ensemble partners.
		Pressler always knew when to play softly enough so that whatever was supposed to be prominent actually was, and yet he also knew how to let his fingers fly and roar his way through the virtuoso piano passages when it was appropriate to the musical design.
