As a founding member of the Beaux Arts Trio, Pressler helped set the gold standard for chamber music trios. He was a distinguished professor at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University Bloomington for over 60 years and a remarkable pianist, known for his elegance and delicacy. This delightful concert includes Mozart's Ballet Music from Idomeneo and Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major plus Stravinsky's Petrushka. The encores are Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor and Claude Debussy's Reverie
