[Allegro Con Brio]

Simply some of the most joyous music-making I've heard, and a stellar recording

 

[Animal the Drummer]

I retain an allegiance to Naxos' original recording from years ago by the Stuttgart Piano Trio, which I still listen to from time to time. My favourite more modern version is the one from the Florestan Trio on Hyperion. Both present the music simply, clearly and beautifully.

 

[Itullian]

Stern, Rose, Istomen for me.

Oistrakh, Oborin and Yampolsky are still the gold standard for me in the Schubert piano trios, though the second Beaux Arts version is also formidable (with Pressler, Cohen and Greenhouse), and in better sound, of course.

The Mozartean Players, performing on period instruments, offer both the cut and uncut movements on separate tracks. Delightful performances, but definitely keep more full-bodied renditions.

 

[Bruckner Anton]

My favorite recording is the BAT 1985 version. I have not yet found a peer recording in terms of voice balance, especially for the often-overwhelmed piano part (mainly due to recording quality or close miking).
