Brahms Piano Trio No. 2 • Lugansky . Capuçon . Kavakos - Brahms Pian... “The late, great Op. 101 Piano Trio opens with restrained power and unfolds with a stately grandeur that settles into the most beautifully realised passages of warmth and serenity, Brahms at peace in the summer of 1886 on the shores of Lake Thun in Switzerland. The child-like simplicity of the slow movement is rendered as a lullaby, and the finale has punch without the application of brute force.” Alan Gregory, BBC Music
