Critical Reception

Rimsky-Korsakov predicted that Arensky would "not be long before he is forgotten," a prophecy that has not come true as Arensky's trios and quartets are now widely performed.

Notable Performances

The Rimsky-Korsakov Piano Trio owes much of its success to a historic 1952 recording made in Moscow by the Oistrakh Trio, featuring David Oistrakh, Sviatoslav Knuchevitzky, and Lieff Oborin.
