The Vienna Piano Trio, founded in 1988, has achieved a "meteoric rise to fame" (The Strad), and is one of the "world's leading ensembles of piano, violin and cello" (The Washington Post). The Trio performs in the proud tradition of the city whose name they bear. Wolfgang Redik plays a J. B. Guadagnini violin crafted in 1772.
