The Moscow Trio is a prize-winner of international competitions in Munich (1969, II Prize), Belgrade (1972, I Prize), Budapest (1975, I Prize), and Bordeaux (1976, Golden Medal of Maurice Ravel).

Accompanied by symphonic orchestras the “Moscow Trio” performs triple concerts by Beethoven, Casella, Martinu, Tcherepnine, Tchaikovsky, and Nikolaev.
