Re: Khachaturian Trio

Jerry -

The Khachaturian Trio is excellent music but hard to bring off. It's more difficult than it looks, and you need to sweep through the very "Russian" flourishes with lots of tensile strength in the phrases and no hint of strain.

Simeon Bellison made an outstanding recording (the first one, I think). He was Russian and caught the character better than anyone else. I have an LP reissue on LP (along with the Mozart Quintet). I'm not sure whether it ever made it to CD, but it's worth looking for.

Best regards.
