Violinist Joshua Bell reunites with two of his favorite collaborating artists and friends – cellist Steven Isserlis and pianist Jeremy Denk. The two Mendelssohn trios – ‘No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 49’ (1839) and ‘No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 66’ (1845) – are regarded as being among the composer’s masterpieces. Interestingly, the writing of the first trio tested even Mendelssohn’s genius, as the second would, as well. With that in mind, listeners to this recording will find a revelatory bonus track – the original version of the song-like second movement (‘Andante con moto tranquillo’) of ‘Piano Trio No. 1’.
