Formation and members

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

Repertoire and recordings

The trio's recordings include the complete piano trios of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann, 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. The trio often performed for the BBC (including live broadcasts).
