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 Ashkenazi
1968A 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.
