Okay, I am a 25 year old girl living in Belgium. Lately I started listening to some works of the Cortot trio (Cortot, Thibaud, Casals). This is also where my adventure ends. I basically know nothing about trios and would like to dig a little deeper, only I have no idea where to start. If it comes to classical music in general I quite like Beethoven his piano sonatas, most of the romantic movement and later Prokofiev. So back to subject: piano trio's (compositions and interpretations) any suggestions?

Some of my favorite trios:

- Rachmaninoff Elegie Trio No. 2

- Schubert Trio No. 2 "Wanderer"

- Bartok Contrasts

- Frank Bridge Phantasie Trio

- Shostakovich Trio No. 2

- Beethoven Trio Op. 11

This ought to get you started. Most of these composers have several trios written, so once you've gotten through these you should be able to listen to all their other ones as well.

If you like Beethoven and have the time, I'd say just listen to all of his piano trios in order of composition. They are easy to find (with the score, too) on Youtube.

If you have listened to the Trio with Cortot, I hope you've heard their recording of the Mendelssohn d minor trio. That trio, and recording, is incredible!
