Just been listening to this wonderful work, one I shamfully admit I've not heard of before:
Khachaturian Trio - Ludmila Peterková, cl; Gabriela Demeterová, v; Markéta Cibulková, p
Anyone played it or know of any recommended recordings?
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

I listened to it for the first time at a university recital not long ago, the last movement blew me away! Great music.

I've played this trio, or at least attempted it, and it's certainly a great piece, with a lots of great moments. Particular notable spots that challenge all are the 1st movement's improvisation-like violin part that can be hard to feel and fit in, and a notorious section halfway through the 2nd movement of ensemble hell.........takes some slow rehearsal to put together, but with great reward.
The one recording I have is with Walter Boeykens, who of course sounds fantastic. Harmonia Mundi 1901419.

The Riverdale Ensemble from Toronto recorded this with Steve Fox on clarinet.

Yes, I played the Khachaturian Trio for my senior recital, lots of fun! I love the octatonic and modal qualities of Eastern European music. I agree with Dave F., the first movement was very difficult with the improvisational things together with clarinet and violin. The two of us took some careful rehearsing together without the pianist to bring that together. The fast parts of the second movement are also very difficult rhythmically to put together. The clarinet and violin are offset and not together, which is challenging. We were blessed with a very good pianist who had played the piece before and was able to help us out, and we were also coached by a violin professor who was very helpful, especially for the violinist. I have the same recording you do with the three Russian women, but it's probably not the best one out there. At my university library, they had the world premiere recording which was pretty bad...I think the clarinetist was Simeon Bellison, he was the one for whom Khachaturian wrote the work. If you're going to buy sheet music, I recommend the Sikorski edition, which is better than the Carl Fisher. Our pianist used the Fisher edition, and she had some tempo indications missing.

It's a fine piece, which is not easy to bring off. You need to get a folksy, Russian, dancelike feel. I like the old recording with Simeon Bellison best. He was Russian and got it exactly the right.

Khachaturian was Armenian, not Russian. His music is deeply rooted in the folk music of Armenia, Turkey, Georgia, Irano-Azerbaijan, Ukraine, etc. If youve ever heard this folk music, it is very wild and raw, almost like Klezmer.
