Beethoven: Piano Trios Vol.4 / Gould Trio
Label: SOMM Catalog: SMM 144 Format: CD This is the concluding disc in a four-CD collection of Beethoven’s complete music for piano trio, recorded live by the Gould Piano Trio in a series of concerts at St. George’s, Brandon Hill in Bristol, UK. We end the series with a unique coupling that marries the very first work Beethoven wrote for piano trio — the little Trio in E flat composed when he was 22 — with his last work, the supreme masterpiece known as “Archduke” written 20 years later. This CD marks the culmination of one of the most important chamber music recording projects by a British ensemble in recent years. Price: $27.98 |
