This performance of the Horn Trio Op 40 is my favorite of the moment. It is so lively and engaging that I had to give it my full attention on the first hearing; no multitasking while these musicians are playing. The trio and the Serenade Op 11 - the Serenade is the original nonet version - are emotionally charged, gritty (but not ugly at all) tangy and deeply satisfying. Well balanced recording and great sound.
If you like your Brahms bland go for Tuckwell on Decca. Other quite different, but excellent, accounts are Brahms / Duvernoy / Herzogenberg: Horn Trios on Naxos and the amazingly beautiful and expressive Salerno-Sonnenberg, Licad, Cerminaro performance on EMI.
