Horn Trio in E-flat major, Op. 40

Johannes Brahms

Horn, Violin, Piano

Barry Tuckwell, Brenton Langbein, Maureen Jones

1987 Excellent digital sound.

Gil's top choice. An 'under the radar' version. These three Australian musicians toured as a trio for decades before this recording, and that success comes through. They bring out all the great aspects of the work wonderfully.

Barry Tuckwell, Itzhak Perlman, Vladimir Ashkenazy

1968

A much more famous recording with all-star players. Vintage Decca sound, all three in top form. Ashkenazy is wonderfully dramatic, and Perlman brings sweetness of tone.

Myron Bloom, Michael Tree, Rudolf Serkin

A warm, affectionate interpretation from the Marlboro Festival, with some extraneous recording noise.

Aubrey Brain, Adolf Busch, Rudolf Serkin

1930s

Insightful playing with a lush slow movement and an exciting, joyful finale.
