The Trio Parnassus has maintained a reputation as one of the finest piano trios in Germany from the latter-twentieth and early-twenty first centuries despite a fair number of personnel changes. The ensemble has developed a reputation for straddling two rather distinctive worlds in its repertory choices: while it plays standards from the Classical and Romantic periods, as well as many twentieth century and contemporary works, it has also devoted much time to the rediscovery of forgotten compositions by nineteenth century composers like Woldemar Bargiel, Joseph Rheinberger, Philipp Scharwenka, and several others. Moreover, the Trio has unearthed previously unheard works by mainstream masters like Robert Schumann: in 2005 the Trio premiered (and later recorded) Schumann's early C minor Quartet in a new version (the original had missing parts) by Schumann scholar Dr. Joachim Draheim. The Trio Parnassus has made over 30 recordings, all for German label MD&G.
