Beethoven: Piano Trios, Vol. 2

With the three piano trios, Op. 1, Ludwig van Beethoven took a genre still largely associated with salon music and raised it up to rival the string quartet. After the success of its Ravel and Saint-Saëns trios recording, the Sitkovetsky Trio presents the eagerly awaited second instalment of its series devoted to Beethoven’s piano trios. (BIS)
