So that there is no question in the mind of the listener, I rely principally on images of the LP and LP jacket in order to document the authenticity of historically important recordings such as these.
In this 1966 recording, Isaac Stern (1920-2001), Eugene Istomin (1925-2003) and Leonard Rose (1918-1984) perform the frist movement of Beethoven's Piano Trio in B flat major, Op. 97, the "Archduke." I created this video from the LP, "The Istomin/Stern/Rose Trio Plays Beethoven's Archduke Trio," issued on the Columbia label, serial number ML 6219. Program notes by Paul Affelder; cover photo by Don Hunstein. All images in this video were taken from the LP jacket and label.
Movement 1: Allegro moderato

I recommend this recording of the Brahms double concerto in A minor, Op. 102, with Isaac Stern and Leonard Rose (1956 performance, Bruno Walter): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vREWf7nxSM
If you enjoy Isaac Stern's early performances, you may be interested in this 1952 recording (Stern was 32 years old) of the third movement of the Brahms violin concerto, with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting:
