The “Elegiac” Piano Trios
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Borodin Trio
The "Elegiac" Piano Trios are a pair of piano trios by Serge Rachmaninov, composed in the 1890s. Rooted in late-Romantic idioms, they feature expressive piano writing, sweeping string melodies and rich harmonic language, and occupy an early position in Rachmaninov's output that foreshadows his later larger-scale piano and orchestral works.
First released: 1984
