These performances of the Haydn and Schubert Trios, two of this great trio’s warhorses, are amongst the most celebrated chamber music recordings, while that of Beethoven’s Variations on the comic aria ‘I am the tailor Kakadu’ offers a fascinating sidelight on their discography. For three decades, Thibaud, Casals and Cortot set aside part of almost every year for trio recitals. Even though more than seventy years have passed, their recordings are unrivalled for their superb technique and innate musicality.
