Trio Parnassus, an esteemed chamber ensemble, has carved out a niche for itself in the classical music scene, particularly revered for its mastery in performing piano trios. The trio, formed in 1980 in Germany, comprises pianist Yamei Yu, violinist Michael Gross, and cellist Christophor Miroslau. Together, they breathe life into both classical and contemporary compositions through a symbiotic blend of skill, passion, and a deep understanding of chamber music.

The Trio Parnassus has gained international acclaim for its exploration and revival of lesser-known piano trio repertoire, as evidenced in their recordings of works by composers like Johanna Senfter, Daniel Gottlob Türk, and Ferdinand Ries. Their discography is characterized by a dedication to musical perfection and historical accuracy, bringing to light the intricate details of each piece. Of note is their comprehensive work on Beethoven's piano trios that showcases the composer's evolution in the genre. Their recent releases, such as "Beethoven: Piano Trios, Op. 38 & Op. 81b" and "Beethoven: Trios, Op. 9," attest to their unwavering focus on classical roots, while albums like "Rinck: Chamber Music, Vol.2" and "Molique: Piano Trios" reflect their affinity for bringing forth the compositions of less mainstream composers. This dedication to a diverse classical repertoire has solidified their standing as interpreters of a vast array of piano trio literature, resonating with both purist admirers of the genre and newcomers to classical chamber music.
