此曲只應天上有,人間能得幾回聞

Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49: Arthur Rubinstein (piano), Jascha Heifetz (violin) and Gregor Piatigorsky (cello).


The piano trio has four movements:
Molto allegro e agitato
Andante con moto tranquillo
Scherzo: Leggiero e vivace

Finale: Allegro assai appassionato (sadly missing in this video recording...)


Gregor Piatigorsky plays the second movement from Chopin's Cello Sonata, accompanied by pianist Ralph Berkowitz.



Gregor Piatigorsky plays Tchaikovsky Waltz, with pianist Ralph Berkowitz.



Gregor Piatigorsky plays Romance by Rubinstein.

Love all of them, thank you for sharing. Are these from some film?

Glad you enjoyed them! Yes, I think these video clips are all from the 1947 film "Carnegie Hall", although I have not seen it myself... I should try to get hold of a DVD copy!
