The Piano Trio Op. 8, is a large-scale piece which in its original version was about a third longer than the revision we know today. It is both the first and the last of three Brahmsian piano trios intended for conventional instrumentation. Brahms's revision resulted in a process of recomposition, from which only the Scherzo, is a piece with Mendelssohnian lightness that emerged unscathed. Johannes Brahms kept little more than the initial theme of each movement. The ample melody of the first movement for piano and cello survived intact while diminishing the more sonorous prolongation of the theme for the ensemble of instruments. In the slow movement the composer replaced the first episode with new material introducing a wonderfully serene opening to this suite, which sees the choral-type piano phrases find a response in a contrasting idea played on the two string instruments, which was a clearly satisfying inspiration of youth, when the violin and cello are covered with a delicate and sinuous figuration in the high notes of the keyboard. One of the characteristics, all youthful impetuosity, of the Trio in B major respected by Brahms was the minor tonality of the finale, but demonstrating a total inability to establish the mother tonality until the concluding pages. However, a major-mode conclusion will resolve the tension of the musical development. Brahms concludes in a surprisingly dramatic manner a work begun in an atmosphere of serene expansiveness. *Lucien*
Thank you Janine, Denis and Pablo for this intense experience of this Brahms Piano Trio no 1! This music is in itself a wonder, heard it first time for over 30 years ago, and it still has the same grip of me.
I’m so happy to see that J.J. has made a recovery from the fall she took before her Carnegie Hall concert last month. (I’m still recovering from the disappointment of not hearing my favorite living violinist for the first time in person…)
the second movement is something else. impossible not to love Brahms.
I myself admire all the movements, impossible not to love them all

This is a discovery for me... What a fantastic performance of this Trio; thanks for sharing!
Pablo's vibrato remind me at the great Daniil Shafran. Top level performance. Thanks for sharing Paolo italy
Thank you for sharing! Seems this becomes annual routine for me in January to listen, as I remember last year's!
I’m so happy to see that J.J. has made a recovery from the fall she took before her Carnegie Hall concert last month. (I’m still recovering from the disappointment of not hearing my favorite living violinist for the first time in person…)
Wat een formidabele uitvoering van dit wonder ! Adembenemend mooi.
Maravilhoso!! Bravo 👏
Gorgeous performance. Thanks so much for sharing
This year end concert always bring us a happiness .
Vibrant, engaging, soothing. Captures the full gamut of passion and emotion
Wonderful! Thank you!
How passionate, love it!!
That opening theme on the cello is indescribably beautiful. Nothing else like it. The piano, as recoded, doesn't overpower the strings.
I will say that the pianist is special.
They are all special.
Absolute magic - thank you!! 🙏❤️

Oh jeez!! Couldn't they find two string players more capricious? "The hunger" and "the desire to eat" met on stage. 🙄
😆😆😆
A little too sentimental! I see the work more rhapsodic.
