Back in keeping with our Anti-Road Rage Wednesday, here's a concert recorded live in Paris by Radio France on October 17th featuring violinist Amiram Ganz, violist David Gaillard, cellist Alexander Dmitirev and pianist Alexander Paley in a program of music by Russian Romantics, some of whom you may not be all that familiar with. Music of Nicolai Medtner, Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, Sergei Rachmaninov, and Gregory Catoire.

Here's the program:

As always, the concert is complete and in two parts - part 1 (top player) is the Medtner, Ippolitov-Ivanov and Trio Elegiaque by Rachmaninov - part 2 (bottom player) is the rest of the Rachmaninov and the Catoire.

Announcements are in French and edited to conform to time.
