Chamber Music
Andrew Litton, better known as a conductor, happens to be a first-rate pianist. He is the anchor in a performance of the Brahms Trio that is at once poetic and ebullient, mournful and rollicking. It would be easy for musicians to take such a familiar piece for granted, but not these players. They illuminate the work's varied moods through subtle shadings and supple phrasing, and they give the last movement's hunting activity a joyous ride. Inspired, really. Brahms Trio in E-Flat Major
