Celebrated for its finesse, infectious exuberance, tonal allure, and its irresistible panache, the Vienna Piano has long been hailed as one of the 'world's leading ensembles of piano, violin and cello' (The Washington Post).
Although Johannes Brahms destroyed all his sketches, drafts, and early versions and many of his works, the Trio in B major op. 8 managed to survive his pyromaniac verdicts.
Thirty-five years later, however, he thoroughly revised it. Along with the Trio in C minor op. 101, the early version rounds off the Vienna Piano Trio's complete recording of this great composer's piano trios - now heard for the first time in full in the latest three-dimensional Super Audio CD quality.
