"Tchaikovsky's Trio achieved considerable popularity during his lifetime and was played while he was visiting the USA in 1891...Some 2 years later this tribute to a great artist(originally Nikolay Rubenstein) was performed at memorial concerts for another; its composer who had died on 6 November 1893."(Shostakovich) "The movement from the trio was excellently played (at his civic funeral) Oleg Kagan, Natalya Gutman and Vladimir Skanavi; a fitting tribute to another great artist and composer".
