Daniel Barenboim, Kian Soltani, Michael Barenboim: MOZART: Piano Trios 2CD

Mozart wrote his trios to be played among friends. Our three musicians, Kian Soltani, Daniel, and Michael Barenboim certainly know each other well from performing together over a long time. The positioning of the great master at the piano with the young musician sitting at the side of him is just like how in the autograph manuscripts Mozart wrote the piano line in the middle with the violin above and the cello below.
