A Special Performance of the Shostakovich Trio no. 2 in E minor, op. 67

 I didn't realize this existed! The violinist is David Oistrakh, the cellist is Milos Sadlo and the pianist is some guy named Dmitri Shostakovich. I especially treasure composer performances for their tempi which can tell us more than a mere metronome marking. This recording was made in Prague in 1946, two years after the piece was composed.
