		Tchaikovsky's third String Quartet, dating from 1875, was written in memory of the violinist Ferdinand Laub, first violinist in the Moscow String Quartet from 1866 until 1874.
		Tchaikovsky's Trio received its premier ten years earlier in 1882 with the noted composer and pianist Taneiev at the piano, Géimali playing the violin and Fitzenhagen (for whom the Rococo Variations were written) playing the cello.
		Tchaikovsky never forgot this scene and it was the memory of it that suggested, nearly nine years after, the theme of this (the second) movement".

	The Golub-Kaplan-Carr Trio
		Tchaikovsky’s death at that moment was a crushing blow, and Rachmaninoff’s efforts to create a fitting tribute to his teacher can be seen in his attempts to link the piece to Tchaikovsky in various ways.
		First, Rachmaninoff’s choice of a piano trio was a bow to a trio Tchaikovsky himself wrote to commemorate the death of Nikolai Rubinstein, which he dedicated to "the memory of a great artist" (Op.
		The trio was a very personal tribute, on which Rachmaninoff had worked "earnestly, intensely, and painstakingly" as a young composer, and a piece he would return to again and again, bringing out new versions in 1907 and 1917.

		Among the latter was Tchaikovsky who, whilst in Rome towards the end of the year, began composition of a piano trio in his memory.
		Tchaikovsky's Trio in A minor, Opus 50, was his only work for this combination, and for reasons that appear to have nothing to do with the quality of the music it has been somewhat neglected.
		In the large first movement of the Trio, Tchaikovsky's treatment of the basic tonality (its relationships to the mediant, both major and minor) is shot through with astonishing examples of his genius.

		The piano trio is an old form: it grew out of the baroque accompanied sonata, in which a violin and keyboard were joined by a cello that assumed some of the continuo line.
		Gradually the cello was liberated as an independent voice, and the piano trio was born.
		It is the master trio of today, as in their day were those of Beethoven in B flat and D, as was that of Schubert in E flat; a wholly fine composition, that, when years have passed away, will delight grandchildren.

	Press reviews of the Bekova Trio
		Tchaikovsky was never a great tone painter where solo piano was concerned, and the Bekovas have done him a favour here by fulfilling the hitherto unrealised colouristic potential of music largely ignored by great pianists.
		With the great piano trios of Ravel and Shostakovich to inspire the threesome, the capacity audience were practically on the edge of their seats.

		The combination of instruments in a piano trio is actually not one that Tchaikovsky particularly favoured, as he replied, "I cannot hear a mixture of piano with violin or cello.
		The wistful theme that opens the trio -- first played by the cello, followed by the violin and the piano -- establishes the tone and character of the entire work with an expression of sorrow that appears as well at the very end, in the guise of a Chopinesque funeral march.

		Arensky's sense of lyricism and his delicate textures, particularly in his piano works and chamber music for strings, show the influence of Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky (it is probably no coincidence that his Piano Trio is in the same key as Mendelssohn's first piano trio).
		Arensky's Piano Trio in D minor of 1894 was written in memory of the cellist and composer Karl Davidov.
		The pastoral melody of the second section, first in the piano, and then the violin, over a constantly moving accompaniment introduces a more peaceful, hopeful mood, but ultimately the movement ends in the same sorrowful mood in which it began.

		In these early trios we witness an advance in the role of the ’cello, which until this time had mainly been used as a continuo rather than as a solo instrument in its own right.
		The Haydn Trio of Vienna was founded in 1965 and has played together in well over a thousand concerts, so it is not surprising that the playing and ensemble is of the highest standard.
		It is also good to hear the finale marked "prestissimo" in Piano Trio No. 3 taken here at exactly the right speed, as some other recordings take this movement at a more leisurely pace, thus losing the impact of the sudden change in tempo.

		In 1881, Tchaikovsky was staying in Nice when he received a telegram informing him of the death of Nikolay Rubinstein in Paris on March 23.
		It was natural that Tchaikovsky should wish to commemorate his close friendship with Rubinstein, and it is consistent with the entire personality of Tchaikovsky that with such an incentive his inspiration rose to its highest level.
		Tchaikovsky made a number of corrections to the score including introduction of possible "cuts" before the piece was performed in public.

		In the summer of 1997, the trio performed the Shostakovich at the Verbier Festival and Academy in an "unprecedented encounter series" with Argerich battling a serious illness, Kremer (right) flying in by helicopter from another engagement and luckily avoiding a heavy downpour that threatened to ruin everything at the last minute.
		The Shostakovich trio begins with a bleak violin solo, as though melancholic reminiscence, later joined by the soulful entrance of the cello and the ominous low registers of the piano.
		This short tuneful scherzo is followed by heavy, crashing chords from the piano that is repeated six times, a bleak landscape on which Maisky and Kremer intertwine the musical grief that is in the heart of this work.
