Raff Piano Trio No.1 new performance

[Mark Thomas]

Raff's lovely First Piano Trio gets a new performance the Trio Nota Bene on a Claves CD. It's the third interpretation to appear on CD and at first hearing (admittedly of downloaded mp3 tracks) it's a less flexible and rather "rougher" rendition than the others by the Trio Opus 8 for cpo and Il Trittico for Divox. The other works on the CD are by Frank Martin, Bloch and Honegger.
