The Whitewater Piano Trio presents a pair of masterworks for violin, cello, and piano. The Trio in B minor, Op. 8 was one of the works with which a 21-year-old Brahms made a resounding impact on the musical scene—and Brahms himself thought enough of the work that he came back to revise it nearly 40 years later. Beethoven also wrote piano trios as a very young man but Op.70, No.2 of 1809 heard here is the work of a mature composer, writing during the most prolific period of his career.
