Preghiera - Rachmaninov Piano Trios

Called "a performance of a lifetime" by the LA Times, Gidon Kremer's recent collaboration with Daniil Trifonov and cellist Giedr? Dirvanauskait? features Rachmaninov's two Piano Trios. Both bearing the subtitle "Elegiaque," the first trio is a short, one-movement piece rich in Slavic sentimentality and the second is a memorial to Tchaikovsky. The album also includes Preghiera, Fritz Kreisler's transcription for violin and piano of the theme from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2.
