André Previn has spent so much of his time doing things like conducting orchestras and writing operas that we can easily forget he is also a fine pianist. No part-time player should be able to handle Brahms's difficult writing this well, but he does. Where any of these busy musicians gets the time to rehearse performances like these is a mystery, but both pieces have obviously been absorbed thoroughly and the ensemble plays like a full-time group. This coupling makes a particularly useful introduction to the Piano Trio medium for beginners, but even those who know both pieces inside-out will find a lot to appreciate in these performances. --Leslie Gerber
