Excerpt: The Alma Trio was a classical piano trio established in 1942 at the Alma Estate of Yehudi Menuhin in Los Gatos, California . Original members The original founding members of the Alma Trio were Roman Totenberg , violin ; Gabor Rejto , cello ; and Adolph Baller , piano . The members of the Trio had been encouraged by the famed artist, Yehudi Menuhin , to establish themselves as a professional piano trio. Adolph Baller had emigrated to the United States in 1938 with the sponsorship of Menuhin, following harrowing experiences at the hands of the Nazis in Austria and Germany . After arriving in the United States , Baller was a guest of Menuhin and became his regular collaborating pianist, as he had been earlier in Europe . New violinists In 1953 Totenberg left the Trio and was replaced by Maurice Wilk , who remained their violinist for ten years until his sudden death in Fall 1963. A review in the New York Times , December 1, 1954, had this to say: "Having acquired a new violinist in Maurice Wilk , the Alma Trio has taken a new lease on life. It deserves to be long and prosperous that is, if the ensemble continues to play as beautifully as it played last night when it opened the cycle of three Beethoven concerts that it is giving at Town Hall . . . few chamber ensembles play the Bonn master with such refinement of spirit and such subtlety of tonal shading." Violinist Andor Toth joined the Trio in the Spring of 1963.
