Katy Hamilton chooses her favourite version of Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor

Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49, was written in 1839. Along with the famous Octet it is one of his most popular chamber works. When fellow-composer Robert Schumann reviewed the work he declared Mendelssohn to be 'the Mozart of the nineteenth century, the brightest musician, who most clearly understands the contradictions of the age and is the first to reconcile them'.

Recommended version:
Martha Argerich (piano)
Renaud Capucon (violin)
Gautier Capucon (cello)
