“In 1854, laboring under the "curse" of Schumann's glowing predictions for Germany's new rising star, a young twenty-one year old Brahms decided to publish his first chamber composition, the Piano Trio in B major, Op. 8. This was no small undertaking: Brahms was a fierce self-critic and is known to have consigned several early chamber works to the fire. Thirty-five years later, in 1890, with all but a few final works ahead, the mature, master Brahms returned to the same trio compelled to revise. With his characteristic humor, Brahms claimed, "I didn't provide it with a new wig, just combed and arranged its hair a little". His changes were in fact substantial: he shortened the work by about one-third, significantly modifying all but the scherzo. It was around this time that Brahms decided to retire, after which he was coaxed momentarily by a late affair with the clarinet into a final small set of compositions. This piano trio therefore has a special significance for Brahms the chamber composer: it began his public career and it preoccupied his attentions again at the end of an astonishing series of masterpieces. In its final form, the B major piano trio bears the hand, the mind and the heart of both the young and the elder Brahms.
Though an early work, the first of his three piano trios is unmistakably Brahms. Lasting nearly half of its total duration, the first movement is a massive sonata beginning with a beautiful theme in the cello, jarred by violent contrast and escalating into a mountain of dramatic development. A restless, dark character dominates most of the trio from the first movement's secondary themes to the brooding march of the scherzo to the wind-blown sweep of the finale rondo. While the light of B major frequently breaks through, the majority of the Trio gravitates to minor related keys, ending, despite the suggestions of its title, on a solid b minor chord. Typical of Brahms, the textures are thick, frequently juxtaposing the heavy romantic piano with the strings, violin and cello unified in a variety of parallel harmonies and symmetric counter motions.
To counterbalance such weight, Brahms offers the third movement adagio, a slow movement of such repose that it seems to hover, nearly motionless, an introspective intermezzo from another world. The lightest movement in multiple senses of the word, it is perhaps the most emotionally compelling, certainly, the most peculiar. The soft musical meditation focuses primarily on the piano with echoing commentary by an ethereal chorus of strings. The central section of its ternary form gathers into a tender, melancholy song first in the cello, passing to the piano and the violin across interludes that are somber, even haunting. Ephemeral, the concrete diffuses again into the abstract, the reappearance of the now familiar beginning transforming the indefinite into the transcendent.”

This has to be the greatest piano trio ever written ❤️❤️
Wow, Capucon was born to play Brahms. He is fantastic. And paired with these other two. A real treat.
A great performance. I like the way Capucon positions his stand to the right so he can maintain eye contact with Kavakos.
I heard Kavakos play in the Op. 8 trio back in the late 90's in Minneapolis and it was a revelation. Wonderful to hear this performance from 20 yrs later and he hasn't missed a beat.
Nikolai and Gautier: " ... Leo why are you in your pajamas"
Leo: "Oh shit is today the performance"
Niky: "..."
Gautier: "..."
Leo: "You two look like fobs anyway in your dinner suits"
It's a fantastic combination to listen to my favorite Brahms pieces with three outstanding musicians.
Hi 영자
@@superblockkim4129 oh~nice to meet you, Superblock Kim
What a beautiful song sung By the cello. By far the best performance, rendition and acoustic wise. Congratulations to the soloists and engineers.
Elegantly beautiful portrayal of this Brahm's masterpiece.
Oh my God! This touches my heart! Best one I ve ever heard!
Capucon looks like Vince Vega from Pulp Fiction
What a fantastic team of musicians! If only I could have been the pianist' s page turner!
the page turner usually has the most tricky part to play!
She should get the Nobel Peace Prize!
An exceptionally fine performance of this rich chamber piece. Bravo to this great trio. Thanks so much for posting.
Stupenda esecuzione. Non c'è altro da aggiungere!
What a musical adventure! So near to happiness, till frost spreads everywhere (in the Adagio : great sepulchral sounds produced by N.Lugansky : it must echo like that in a grave...). And the ending, this panting call exploding in an unexpected mixture of urgent expectancy, warmth and despair !
J'adore particulièrement, ici, le jeu de Gautier Capuçon. Bien sûr Lugansky est toujours aussi brillant, et il compose parfaitement avec ses trois partenaires. Superbe finale ! Excellente vidéo à tous points de vue !
I love the romance, the fervour, in Brahms, when he has a reputation for being serious, gruff almost. The Brahms of the last piano pieces, or the lovely clarinet sonatas. This Op 8 was Brahms as a young amorous thrusting man of course (noting that this performance is the revised, much better, 1891 version of the original sprawling version from the 1850s). Great performance from three highly talented instrumentalists. Please guys consider a Beethoven Op 56 Triple Concerto - you would ace that for sure - and another underestimated work (a simple part for someone like NL of course); I happen to think that in the right (6) hands it should hold its head proud with the other concerti.
Ah, Brahms would be so happy with the musicianship of the performers here. This is the best of Brahms, played by the best of musicians here!!!
Immortal Brahms never had it so good!
Big thanks for sharing this wonderful concert.
Oh the passion! So beautiful!!! Amazing job!!!! This is most incredible!
Just wonderful. No words!
Превосходно! Какая красивая музыка и исполнение. Спасибо!
Oh my how can such 3 men can really be human behings! Here is an evident display of the pinnacle of the human race! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautifull
Kavakos' face at @1:55 ;)
I just saw that! I will remember that expression when I need it LOL
Vraiment merveilleux
Absolutely magnificent 👍👍👍
You guys are amazing, incredible, tops.
Beautifully done, truly a masterpiece
bellissima esecuzione !!!
Reminds me of the days when i used 2 play the piano with my violinist friend Dominic. Was teaching overseas for many years..
Bravoooo
The string players are amazing including the pianist of course! Reminds me of my days in the music school when I used to duet in piano with my violinist friend in Abudhabi UAE😃🙌
What about that page turner though, she did that remarkably well.
1:18 sounds like a couple is singing together!
Genial ! Grandísimos músicos !Con maestría,devoción y humildad hacen renacer la música en toda su plenitud !
Kavakos!
There are many performances on YT of this masterpiece: a trio written in the youth of Brahms, and revised in his old age.
Great Brahms + great players.
👏🙏👏👏👏. Спасибо за прекрасную музыку.
Beautiful. Thanks!
Ευχαριστώ
Oh my..
Remarquable!
19:43 the look you make to your friend when you're about to hit a ff
saw this playlist in move to heaven
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Extra points for the cough at the utterly precise point at the end of the sublime 3rd mvt. But stunning overall.
Kavakos!!!
solo 3400 visualizzazioni in realtà sono molto bravi grande esecuzione e interpretazione
3:21-3:47 Some extremely ebullient octaves with the climaxing developmental textures added in by the piano? 3:48, 3:52 Headbanging mode by Violin Jesus!
What a treat to find this on CZcams. I prefer the version with Kavakos/Ma/Ax but nice to see this with video!

I see everyone is dressed for the occasion.
Really sounds better when there are modulations in the music. Brahms music is actually hard to play and needs a lot of practise to master every piece whether it's for piano, or chamber and orchestra!
I can attest to the fact that playing the Brahms cello sonatas takes endurance.
Where was this concert given?
Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow
Does anything else besides this and Mendelssohn's Italian symphony start major and end minor?
Rachmaninoff Suite No. 2, Op. 17 starts in C major Alla marcia and ends in C minor Presto
Chopin's Ballade no. 2 starts in F major and ends in A minor
Yes, Brahms' 3rd symphony, my favorite, in F major ends in an f minor storm.
Schubert 4 Impromptus D. 899. Everyone of the four ends in the opposite key.
Alkan - Étude No 10 Op 35
de perfil el cellista parece john travolta en pulp fiction

C’était où et quand?
2016, Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow
Dear Trio, I would like to send you my new piano trio. Could I send you a link for you to listen to please? Neil Crossland
lucky pageturner...
😅
3:30
The string players prefer to wear long hair coz they want 2b looking like the classical composers Brahms and Liszt? 😉☺
Did they hand out packs of cigarettes to the audience before the concert? I've never heard so much wheezing and coughing. Can't people be quiet for half an hour?
Great music, but the violinist needs to get a better suit.
Cuando se reunen músicos de gran talento para estas presentaciones, muchas véces el resultado no es el esperado, como en este caso. Cada uno pretende prevaler sobre los otros, arruinando el resultado. No me ha gustado.
Egos are part of the equation in chamber music. In this,it worked magnificently.
Peerless
Il piano sovrasta eccessivamente e il violino non è in evidenza.
Bravissimi
I dont like Lugansky in this performance, my perception is that he shows off too much, less Windows for the others
