About
Piano Trio No. 4, "Dumky", ranking among Antonin Dvorak's most celebrated works, is one of the most frequently recorded chamber pieces there is. After attending a performance, with the composer on the piano, Leos Janacek summed up his impressions succinctly: "A new source of light has flashed."

Piano Trios No. 1 and 2, however, have been scarcely performed. In this light, the complete recording of Dvorak's piano trios is a project richly deserving attention. All the more so due to the artists who have made it: Boris Giltburg, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition and one of the world's most distinguished contemporary pianists, alongside Veronika Jaruskova and Peter Jarusek, members of the globally celebrated Pavel Haas Quartet, who have earned great recognition for performing Dvorak's music -Gramophone Recording of the Year (quartets) and Gramophone Chamber Award (quintets,together with Giltburg).

The album was made at the studios in the picturesque Wye Valley, straddling the border between England and Wales, under the supervision of the legendary producer Andrew Keener while London was celebrating the coronation of Charles III. Exceptional moments for Dvorak's exceptional music ...

one of the most immediately striking aspects in these performances is the sheer beauty of the string sound. They are ably matched by pianist Boris Giltburg whose care over articulation and unfussy, nuanced playing is a constant delight.

These are musicians who seem to instinctively get each other, trading musical ideas with the easy spontaneity of three friends who are so in sync that they finish one another’s sentences. As on their earlier recording of the Piano Quintet, there are moments when the collective sound is so massive that it hardly seems credible that so few musicians are involved, and the more introspective stretches are also beautifully done.
