Either it s a pianist accompanied by two strings, two string players accompanied by a piano, or three soloists. That was the perception when the Beaux Arts began. From the first inception of the Trio to the last, my colleagues and I were relentless in our pursuit of a more perfect union. This collection of recordings represents our very best efforts as an ensemble. We offer it with the hope that they bring you the kind of musical fulfilment that sustained us throughout the life of the Beaux Arts Trio. --Menahem Pressler, 2015 The gold standard for trios throughout the world. --The Washington Post Among the world s piano trios, there is none better. --Time Magazine
