Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s influence as composer and teacher was profound in Russia and beyond, yet his chamber music has been overshadowed by his operas and orchestral works. The unfinished Piano Trio in C minor was completed by his son-in-law Maximilian Steinberg to reveal a substantial work of considerable depth. César Cuis charming and lyrical Farniente is an arrangement from a piano original, while Borodins Piano Trio in D major is reminiscent of Mendelssohn in its joyous agility and nostalgic beauty.
