About the Album

Joshua Bell has joined forces with renowned British cellist Steven Isserlis and the exceptionally talented pianist Jeremy Denk to create a new album. This highly anticipated collaboration brings together three musical masters, each with their unique voice and perspective.

Joshua Bell shared his thoughts on the new recording of the Mendelssohn Piano Trios, saying, “Steven Isserlis and Jeremy Denk have been my most treasured chamber music partners for decades. They bring boundless imagination and astonishing musical intelligence to every work we have had the opportunity to perform together. I hope that the joy we share in performing chamber music, and in particular our deep love for Felix Mendelssohn, is reflected in the Piano Trios. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to make this album.”

Mendelssohn’s Two Piano Trios, considered one of his masterpieces, are featured on this album. The trios, including the famous No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49, and No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66, showcase the composer’s genius. The album also includes a bonus track, the original version of the song-like second movement (Andante con moto tranquillo) from No. 1.
