Brahms: Horn Trio in E-Flat

By Herbert Kupferberg

Brahms: Horn Trio in E-flat (Alan Civil, Yehudi Menuhin, Hepzibah Menuhin; Angel S-36472). The quintessence of chamber music romanticism, the Horn Trio gets a precise but desiccated presentation from musicians who should know better. To hear this work really come alive it’s still necessary to hunt down the old Aubrey Brain-Busch-Serkin recording, available as an Odeon import.
