Review of Eroica Trio (1997)

Artists:  Eroica Trio.
Album:  Eroica Trio.
Publisher:  EMI Classics.
Release Date: 1997.

George Gershwin - Three Preludes.

Marice Ravel - Piano Trio (1914).

Benjamin Godard - Berceuse.

Paul Schoenfield - Cafe Music.

I have had this CD for a long time.  I discovered the Eroica Trio by accident on a local NPR station when they still played classical music in St. Louis.  I could have heard them live when I lived outside of Ames, IA in early 2003.  However, I just have several of their CDs. 

The Trio has released a ton of albums since their debut CD in 1997.  Bryan Miller of the Post-Dispatch called the Erotic Trio because the three musicians looked like Covergirl models.  Besides the eye candy, their music is excellent.  If you get a chance, do see them in concert.  It's worth it.
