Beethoven: Piano Trios Vol. 3

Trio con Brio Copenhagen

ORC 100101

Trio con Brio presents its third volume of Beethoven’s Piano Trios: electrifying performances of music which reveals the composer at the peak of his powers. • Beethoven’s Op.1 Piano Trios began with two works sure to charm Viennese audiences, but in his Piano Trio Op.1, No.3 in C minor, featured on this album, we begin to hear the radical, uncompromising Beethoven in music of volcanic force, contrasted with a sublime slow movement. The ‘Archduke’ Trio, Op.97, marked Beethoven’s final public performance as a pianist, but was also a turning-point in his output, its warm-hued nature combining heavenly serenity with earthy joie de vivre. “Glowing reports hold true. The Trio con Brio Copenhagen clearly occupies a lofty perch in today’s musical scene.” Washington Post “From the first note, Trio con Brio exudes class... both explosive and exquisitely intimate – aspects that this performance delivers with compelling panache.” Strad
