I am just amazed at the fidelity of this recording. I find the collaboration of Cortot, Thibaud and Casals absolutely breathtaking. I surmised while listening to this that the three were friends, and I wasn't wrong for a change. It's a joyous interpretation and my favorite!
This piece is just unbelievable, maybe the best trio even written.
This is a 1928 recording, an early electronic one. It has surely been cleaned-up yet who did the work was amazing in preserving overtones and nuances.
You can hear an other very good restoration here:

The best trio in classical music to ever exist.
?
H. M. Ces 3 interprètes aussi géniaux l'un que l'autre dans une harmonie parfaite et l'alliance jamais égalée piano-cordes...
agreed!
I 've heard this trio with these artists about a hundred times; it keeps being breathtakingly amazing
For gods sake this is spectacular, Imagine a world without such beauty?!
+Groovy Space Babe one would rather not live.... :)
+kaspafischer bobão kkkkk
Simply stunning
Tears pour down my cheeks
And I'm laughing
Greatest effing ever
Prayers to live
Freely
A view more years
Thanks for this masterpiece
I'm paralyzed
I'm in love
More
Dear Lord
More
the world is already without such beauty
the most moving ever
Casals boomingly gruff, Thibaud soaring and sharp, the filigiree of Cortot wonderful, at times skeletal, once sounding ragtimish...settle down
the most joyous and saddest... the one I love completely.
As good as it gets. Couldn't be better than this.
Beethoven - a saint in his own right.
Heavenly! Clear and Crisp! Well balanced trio.Hard to believe the recording is old.Thank you so much!
Todavía conservo los discos en 78 rpm heredados de mi padre donde fué hace ya 50 años cuando esuché este maravilloso trio por estos mismos interpretes.
Mis felicitaciones.....!!!!!!!!!
What a coincidence, just today is the 50th anniversary of my father departure. We use to listen this trio once and again.
immortal recording of immortal music, they play ALIVE
I cannot believe that this recording dates from 1928, it sounds so fresh and spontaneous. Until now I had considered the Kempff, Menuhin and Rostropovich live Paris version the best, but now I'm not so sure.
Soy Javier,converso a los 8o años a la informatica,y no me puedo creer esta maravilla: poder oir al mitico trio de Cortor Thibaud y Casals en una grabacon de 1928 Para un melomano no hay nada comparable
Holà Javier copiado pero incomparable.
Verdádero milagro de la tecnología gracias. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
une musique géniale jouée par des interprètes fabuleux , merci
Humanity and real suffering, and simplicity of these men , rarely repeated ever.
excuse me mr majdi, but in this context "simplicity" means
"stupidity" in common english usage.....im sure that is not what you meant.
Tempos eccentric at times but the delineation of the voices is admirable, with Thibaud's violin so mellifluous and Casals; cello superbly resonant. Cortot's maestoso feel for the slow movement and filigree passage work in the finale is memorable, in my view.
Very well described sir!
+Ric Droz Gracias! for the comment. The archduke trio has a memorial quality of the composer, as well as the three chamber players, which haunts one, recalling how wretched his health was at the time if writing it. Mendelssohn's C Minor trio Opus 66, has similar meaning for me---at 88!
너무 아름다워서 눈물이 날 것 같다. 특히 코르토의 연주는 너무 훌륭해서 그것을 집어삼킨 시대가 야속할 따름이다. ㅜㅜ
After listening to this version multiple times and comparing to several other interpretations, I have concluded that this is what the maestro intended. Of the others, I have heard the keyboard overpowers the intent of the strings as in the Barenboim/DuPre recording. It is unimaginable that this recording dates to 1928!
The secret is Cortot lays off the sustain pedal!
It is very, very early Romantic - Romantic covers more than a hundred years - played with all the understated focus and precision of traditional Classical style, no needless portamenti etc. Consequently it grips you throughout and brings you just an inch closer to Beethoven.
There’s untouchable, and then there’s this.
Intoccabile, intouchable, unantastbar.
This is so wonderful. The andante movement brings tears to my eyes I can't help.
Interpretations from the hearts.
A PASSAGE TO ROMANTICISM THROUGH CLASSICISM.
So, so intimate...
...and I don't mean because it's "chamber music."
Listening to this performance of this piece (completed in 1811; it sounds much later than that), I feel as though three friends of longstanding have gotten together to make some music, and we're allowed to eavesdrop.
I researched this performance, and it seems to have been recorded in the late 1920's (at just about the time that "sound" was coming to the movies), which, given it's audio quality, I find utterly astounding.
This is a heavenly played music. Chapeau!
Like good, exceptional wine. A treasure. Thanks.
Eine große Freude zu zuhören..... Danke !
me too, Kafka on the Shore , I can not remember Kafka any more but the "Archduke" trio,yes
Cómo pudo ser? Un disco de 78 revoluciones por minuto.. casi no se oye el scratch. Sonido análogo, perfecto. Y la mejor interpretación que he oído El cello de Casals sublime.
El sonido está restaurado. El original hace más ruido que mi suegra tomando sopa.
Milagro de la tecnología. Increíble el 5rio
Astonishing companionship. One of the greatest performances of all time.
I couldn't agree more!
In one word "magic!"
No one can say that a particular performer or performance is the best. Some are certainly outstanding, such as this, but every rendering is a personal interpretation, liked by some not so with others.
The difference with Cortot Thibaud Casals is how well they knew each other and they were all equally important. Some tríos are great performed just thrown together others play together a lot but have a dominant member.
Very good, wondwerful, execution of this beautiful legendary trio. Thanks for posting!
Tia Bina! Td bem tia Bina????
My favorite Pianotrio - out rival all Trios ever composed.
Troels Varming maybe you forget ravel
This is not a competition.
There is no competition. No one ever said there was.
Just how lovely can music be !! This should be in everyones collection, Good stuff.
The gentleman with the white moustache is Gabriel Faure. All four were great friends.
what I would give to know them, especially Faure
@silverbud hey everyone can improve right?
Increíble y conmovedor!! gracias!
Outros tempos.. outra percepção .. Maravilha!
Long live Don Pablo Casals!
Si toda música supone un enigma, la de Beethoven alcanza valor señero. Él encarna la música como pocos lo lograran, cada una de sus composiciones prueba hasta qué punto dominaba técnica y expresión, meticulosamente y no menos dramáticamente. Poseído por el genio que le habitaba. Como prueba fehaciente este trío cuyo careo a tres bandas reenvía a la confrontación feroz, pues ningún instrumento acepta ser sometido hasta aunarse en una misma expresión, sin restar ímpetu y furia a la tentativa. Abismo de expresión aquí resuelto con exquisita sensibilidad. Ahí radica la clave del misterio: más allá de la forma, lo incógnito reside en su esencia indescifrable, pertenece al universo del imaginario, por sensitivo, él mismo abismal. Si mi confrontación con las sonatas fue brutal, no intenté descifrar su porqué, “sabiéndolo” irresoluble. La lección me valió una enseñanza inquebrantable, si solo en la inmersión se alcanza, me atengo a no salir indemne sin buscarle sentido al encuentro, con la precaución del buzo o del vigía. A este trío me acerco como al fuego, con recelo de abrasarme. Por esa razón, nunca quise escucharlo en vivo. Desde aquellos años alpinos, esta antigua grabación me permite acercarme sin temor a la hoguera, tan frágil es su materia sonora, tan humana. Me deleito sin abismarme. Sabiéndome quebradizo y no Ave Fénix . Abandono al mito su sentido. Ahora bien, si Fortuna me lo permitiese, quisiera que este trío acompañara en directo mi último viaje, para abandonarme sin peligro a su fuego. Luminaria o “llama viva” que alumbre la recta final .
Belika, gracias por ese oído tan sensible

Just great. Thank you.
Merci beaucoup, pour se très beau quatuors, Pablo casals devait être très jeune à l'époque , merci à Monsieur Van Beethoven, cette partition est d'une poésie extraordinaire, suave , pleins de générosités et de tendresses. Merci aussi à CZcams muchas gracias
Pau Casals était le moins jeune des trois! Il avait 52 ans en 1928, Cortot 51 ans et Thibaud 48 ans...
thibaud et cortot sont morts dans accidentes séparés apres la 70tène Cortot à 100 años après 30 ans de marriage avec une celiste de Puerto Rico
Casals est né en 1876 donc il avait 52 ans au moment de l'enregistrement. Effectivement il était très jeune. Concernant maître Beethoven, je ferai de mon mieux pour lui transmettre vos mots de remerciement.

Tributo a Casals genio. ☑️. Genio pianista
Pau Casals was one of the greatest cellist in the history of music, I daresay.
Espléndida versión: un trío de gigantes...
Lovely playing.TY FPC for posting.
A legendary and fabulous recording. In the photo they are with Gabriel Fauré.
can this really be 1928? amazing sound quality. No matter what year the performance is wonderful
Toutes les grandes idées inspirées, musique, films, philosophie, inventions, révélations viennent toutes de l’inconscient collectif. C'est une vérité qui nous est révélée spontanément à l’écoute d'une telle inspiration et, qu’avec le temps nous devons vérifier par nous-même afin de savoir si un tel compositeur peut changer nos esprits et notre existence.
For me the best version I´ve heard of this piece.Much better indeed that the one by Rubinstein,Heifetz and Feuerman in spite of the poor quality of the recording.
E pensar que en calquera momento nos van a prohibir escoitar estar grabación porque Casals fumaba.....e Beethoven era misóxino!!!...Sempre nos quedará o poder tarareala..como mais ou menos recordemos!!! Insuperable versión!!!
"Much affected by the tragic death of his friend Enrique Granados in the torpedoing of Channel steamer the Sussex, in March, 1916, Casals helped to arrange a concert for the benefit of this victim of the 'humanitarian' methods of warfare, and a New York audience had the unique experience of hearing Ignace Paderewski, Fritz Kreisler, and Pablo Casals in trio - the great B-flat of Beethoven. All musical world and more crowded into the Metropolitan Opera House that night, while many others tried in vain for entrance." - Reprinted from Pablo Casals by Lillian Littlehales, by permission of W.W.

Thank you for taking the time to share this information!
Such treasures ... accessible through "CZcams". Can't be all bad, can it?
Anyway ... I - am - grateful ... THANK YOU :o)
고등학교 1학년에 Victor sp판 레코드로 들은 이후,평생에 걸쳐 애청곡이 된곡.수많은 트리오가 연주했건만,내마음속에 추억으로 살아있는 세사람의 명반:카잘스,꼬르토,띠보!
아니 어떡해 고일때부터 이런경험을...대단하십니다.
저가 1947년생 입니다.1959년 집에 큰형님께서 전축을 장만하셨고,일제시대에 제작한 빅터레코드로 들었읍니다.
저는56년생입니다 저도 고1 때 사촌형님이데리고간명동입구 코스모스 음악감상실 경험이새록새록 ㆍㆍㆍ
The 3rd movement, Andante cantabile ma però moto, from 16:21 is absolutely indelible
Bijzonder mooi
너무 아름다워요💕
un lujo interpretativo en el tiempo
Year of this spectacular recording? I used to have it on "Recordings of the Century"--a beat up old copy the library got rid of (why?) to make room for new CDs of mediocrity. OH for those days when one went to the library and someone knew what they were doing...... Thanks for posting.
Lá exelencia increiiblle. 🇮🇷🥇🥉🥇
It looks like "To Erneste (o) Rossini, Affectionately, Alf / Cortot"
And that IS Fauré in the photo!
Immortal
The 3rd movement in this piece blows my fucking mind every time I hear it.
The three in their prime. I especially like Casals in the Andante third movement.
The youngest, Thibaud, was already 48 at that time!
Cortot forever!
I'LL SLEEP TONIGHT AT LAST !! ♥♥
Me too!!!
23121942 La mejor versión que he escuchado
Sorry if I was wrong beautiful piece
violin614, nope...I agree. this piece, this recording, makes me tear up.
Sometimes sloppy , sometimes not together , sometimes out of tune but still brilliant and profound playing !
Phillip Shovk whole thing recorded in one take, old chap.
Recibiste el clip? Era la pieza que le gustaba a papá.
Is that Fauré with the epic mustache in the photo?
Yes.
My grandfather in music (teacher of my teacher)
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️🇮🇷
Can anyone tell me who the gent with the fine mustache might be? "Anybody? Anybody?" ...(Ben Stein in Ferris Bueler's Day Off")
Jack Housman Gabriel Faure.
Yes, of course, forget HiFi. Hear Pablo Casals recording of Schumann concerto (he was 77 then) and everybody else sounds like a castrate. If you search for the best ever recordings you often end up with old vinyls or Schellacks. Todays artists are mostly teflonised, no risk, no thrill, no interest...
Lukas Fie
Fantastic 👏 there us also a documentary on you tube brahms and his women were there is actually a piece of music the Hungarian dances and they have a live 20 second recording of brahms actually playing it on one of the first photographs quality obviously bad but actually brahms playing phenomenal
melt
What is to be in tune?
Los 50 del Viejo.
I believe the fourth man on the picture to be Gabriel Fauré!
Y ahora?
whos the guy in the middle? faure?... what a time to be alive
Gabriel Faure. He was not a guy, but a gentleman.
