"Both recordings ar part of the priceless legacy of Pablo Casals. Recorded respectively in 1951 and 1952, reflect the huge grandness of spirit and sublime maturity of this legendary artist: Casals was in his 75 and 76 when he decided to record these works.



Schubert's Trio No.1 was performed with that unerring inspiration; in which concerns Beethoven's Trio I have not listened previous or until this date any other version so extraordinary.



Istomin was a very young but promising soloist and Alexander Schneider was soloist of the legendary Budapest quartet; nevertheless, the main driving force was obviously, Pablo Casals whose expression and wisdom was out of this world.



You would not hesitate for a second at the moment to acquire this priceless and rewarding musical testimonial, that carves in relief once more the presence and relevance of this peerless master."
