Description:

Beautiful French works performed by the Sitkovetsky Trio! The Sitkovetsky Trio, led by Alexandre Sitkovetsky, was formed in 2007. Their album of Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 (BIS SA-2109) was selected as one of the best discs in the special issue of Record Geijutsu magazine's "Masterpieces of the New Era 500" (May 2021 issue), and their exquisite performance has been highly praised by various magazines. This album is a combination of Ravel and Saint-Saens, two of France's most famous composers. The Sitkovetsky Trio, with its clear articulation, outstanding ensemble ability, and rich musicality, gives a lively performance. This year (2021) marks the 100th anniversary of Saint-Saens' death, and this new recording is sure to attract even more attention.Please also enjoy Beethoven's Piano Trios Vol. 1 [No. 3 & No. 6] (BIS SA-2239), works by Dvorak, Smetana and Suk (BIS SA-2059) and Mendelssohn's Piano Trios (BIS SA-2109).
