The London Mozart Trio, 1991.
New Zealand's Ogen Trio have done a recording of the Dumky also, which you must get (also Beethoven Ghost and Gareth Farr's Ahi).
The Dumky is great fun - 6 movements, mostly with the same alternating ternary structures to them - slow and moody, followed by live and sparky, followed by slow and moody (in each movement).
And tunes that will have you bobbing up and down and tapping toes, stamping feet and dancing round the fire.
Dvorak - worth living for!
Schubert - also tuneful and delicious, though, due to his historical context, a little more straitlaced (sp?).
Hmm...must be something about trios!
The London Mozart Trio do a great job on these classics.
I prefer the Schoob's Eb trio, but that is largely due to the amazing way it's used in Kubrick's Barry Lyndon.
LMT turn in a rich, variegated and committed performance of both works - the Dvorak has a lot of playful freedom to it - a little bit like a cute but naughty child who only needs a tiny bit of getting-in-line.
Sparkly, catchy and warming.
10/10.
