Eberl: Chamber Works

Trio Van Bruggen

RAM 0601

In his time, Anton Eberl (1765-1807) was considered equal to, or even better than, Beethoven, and so well received that his works could pass as being composed by Mozart-his 'Piano Sonata, Op. 1', for example, was published many times as Mozart's last great sonata! Eberl contributed greatly to the evolution of classical style and opened doors for early Romantic composers Schubert and Mendelssohn. An explanation as to why Eberl's often extremely complex music was never rediscovered in the 20th century might be that it is very difficult to render satisfactorily on modern instruments-a situation that has been remedied by this important release from Ramee by the Trio Van Bruggen-Van Hengel-Veenhoff.

This CD is a real joy: most attractively performed on period instruments or modern copies, very nicely presented in clean, forward and well-balanced recordings. • Early Music Review nr. 113 (June 2006)
