To commemorate the Mendelssohn bicentennial in 2009, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emanuel Ax, and violinist Itzhak Perlman have collaborated together for the first time and recorded the Mendelssohn Piano Trios. The three players performed these works at Carnegie Hall in March 2009 and will once again dazzle audiences with their interpretation during their Live from Lincoln Center telecast on PBS on May 5, 2010. The Sony Classical release Mendelssohn: Piano Trios contains complete accounts of Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 49 and Piano Trio No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 66. This is the first chamber recording these three virtuosos have recorded together.

  • Dazzling Tanglewood, Schubert concert features all-star cast with Ma, Ax, Jacobsen and Barton / MassLive review
    Posted At: August 5, 2017

    Playful or passionate in another. Schubert's music covers a wide range. And like Mozart, both Austrian composers created an incredible amount of music during their sadly short lives. Symphonies. Sacred works. Concertos. But for many people, it's Schubert's chamber music that truly stands out. His achingly-passionate sonatas (especially his later ones written shortly before his death in 1828) ...

  • Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax get to the heart of it at Kennedy Center / Washington Post
    Posted At: April 14, 2016

    Playing Beethoven often seems to involve choosing sides. Does it make more sense to skew his music toward the poise and restraint of the classical composers who influenced him, or to treat his work with the unbuttoned emotionalism of the later romantic composers he helped give rise to? The best of Beethoven interpreters find musical truth by marrying both of those polarities in his scores. Cellist Yo...

    Posted At: August 11, 2015

    Cellist Yo Yo Ma has performed at presidential inaugurations, on the Oscars, been a punch line in several jokes on "Seinfeld" and has received rave reviews for decades. Pianist Emanuel Ax has won numerous awards, recorded several Grammy-winning albums with Ma and was the celebrity guest on NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" quiz to answer silly questions about AXE Body Spray. But none of th...

  • Artists On the Bench - with Emanuel Ax / San Francisco Classical Voice interview
    Posted At: January 7, 2015

    Emanuel Ax is notoriously nice - one of the kindest, funniest, genuinely caring people in the business. And, although he is 40 years into a career as one of the world's greatest pianists, both as a soloist and a chamber musician, and although, at 65, he's still inarguably at the top of his game, he maintains a completely genuine sense of modesty, humility, and respect for the hard work, and the great fun...
