>Does anyone know anything about the Trio Argentino?
The scarce info I have is this: the ensamble is now (June 2007)
offering a series of concerts "off Teatro Colon". As you probably
know, the Teatro Colon will stay closed this year due to a huge plan
of architectural and internal reforms, and all the planned activity of
the year was detoured to other halls and theaters. The concerts of Trio
Argentino are taking place at the Jorge Luis Borges Auditorium at the
National Library (excellent place for chamber music), and program includes
Faure's Op. 102, Ravel's a-minor trio and works by Schnittke, Rachmaninoff,
Brahms, Schumann (integrale of his piano trios) and Dvorak. Since 2005,
the ensamble changed its name: "Nuevo Trio Argentino" (New Argentine
Trio), perhaps due to the fact that they have a new cellist: Myriam
Santucci instead of the former Jorge Perez Tedesco. I don't know the
reasons of this switch. Concerning the other members, Elias Gurevich
is a leader violin of the Camerata Bariloche, a chamber ensamble with
which I had the pleasure and honor of singing Bach's both Passions (2002,
2003) and Salieri's Requiem (2006) at Teatro Colon. Fernando Perez is
a superb pianist, and he recorded a chamber version of Brahms' Deutsches
Requiem (the so called "London version" for 4 hand piano and choir) with
the Grupo de Canto Coral directed by Nestor Andrenacci. There's more
info about this recording at:

I knew that the Faure -Schubert CD was nominated at 5th Annual Latin
GRAMMY Awards, 2004. Except of this, I don't know much more.
I also regret that the Trio hasn't more recordings, but unfortunately
this is a bit difficult nowadays for many artists in Argentina.
