Piano Trios

''...one senses the music coursing through the Russian's veins in a way that eludes their distinguished colleagues... when the music turns introspectively moody the Borodin players are inimitable. Brian Couzens's Chandos Classics recording is beatifully judged: warm yet detailed, and physically involving.'' International Record Review

Arensky was an ardent admirer of Tchaikovsky, and his highly attractive music is an eclectic blend of Russian idiom and late romantic tradition with some wonderfully rich melodies and harmonies.

On their original release these highly idiomatic performances met with great critical acclaim.

The Borodin Trio was formed after the three members emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1976. The ensemble quickly established itself as one of the best piano trios of its generation.
