"During the past half century, one ensemble has been preeminent - the Beaux Arts Trio, which by any reckoning has to be the most robust piano trio of all time, having chalked up at least 6000 performances in its 49 years of existence and having recorded some 60 discs, dozens of which remain in the catalog...Mr. Hope plays with a finely tuned ardor of a young poet; Mr. Meneses is the epitome of suave, manly discretion. As Mr. Pressler enters 50th year as the backbone of this generation-crossing threesome, the Beaux Arts seems more vital than ever.”
