The Israel Piano Trio (Hebrew: שלישיית הפסנתר הישראלית) is a classical piano trio founded in 1972 by the pianist Alexander Volkov, the violinist Menahem Breuer, and the cellist Zvi Harell.

Formation and members[edit]

The Israel piano trio was founded in Israel in 1972 by Alexander Volkov (piano), Menahem Breuer (violin), and Zvi Harell (cello).[1][2] Zvi Harell was later replaced with Marcel Bergman,[1][3] and later by Hillel Zori.[4] After the death of Alexander Volkov in 2006,[5][6] the pianist Tomer Lev joined the trio. As of 2011, the members are Roglit Ishay (piano), Menahem Breuer (violin), and Hillel Zori (cello).[7][8]

Repertoire and recordings[edit]

The trio's recordings include the complete piano trios of Brahms,[9] Mendelssohn,[10] Schubert[11][12] and Schumann,[13] as well as works by 20th century Israeli composers. The TV documentary "Mendelssohn returns to Leipzig" features a journey of the trio to Leipzig-Gewandhaus.[14] The trio often performed for the BBC (including live broadcasts).[1][15]
