An attentive listener to this recording may perceive differences from existing performances of Ravel's Trio, especially in the "Pantoum" movement, due to the use of the Bärenreiter critical edition.

Performer Biography
The Trio George Sand's previous album, featuring works by Debussy and Lili Boulanger, included the world premiere recording of Lili Boulanger's piano trios.
