After a successful trilogy devoted to the concertos and trios of Schumann, the team assembled alongside the Freiburger Barockorchester and Pablo Heras-Casado could not ignore one of Beethoven's most unusual works: the Triple Concerto. They bring this score to life as only true chamber musicians can, revealing its subtlest colours and balances. The trio transcription of the Second Symphony, which was supervised by the composer himself, judiciously completes this exploration of lesser-known Beethoven, in which intimacy mingles with grandeur.
GRAMOPHONE Award Nomination 2021 - Concerto
"It almost seems that social distancing brought them closer together, such is the relish, spontaneity and inventiveness of the playing." Gramophone Editor's Choice April 2021
"There's no question of a timid approach, and the clean timbre of the period instruments is echoed by the soloists, entering one by one. Especially fetching is the empathy between Faust and Queyras, with total mutual understanding of phrasing and rubato...All in all this really is an outstanding recording." BBC Recording of the Month May 2021
Tracks:
Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Cello in C major, Op. 56
