Vienna Piano Trio - Beethoven: Klaviertrios Op. 97 (Archduke) & Op. 1,3 (SACD)

What ensemble could be more predestined for Ludwig van Beethoven's piano trios than the Vienna Piano Trio? Following its brilliant beginning with the Trios op.70, this top ensemble from Vienna now presents the magnificent and mighty Archduke Trio op. 97 in surprisingly close album association with the standout Trio in C minor from op. 1, a work with trailblazing qualities that immediately caught Joseph Haydn's attention.Beethoven dedicated the Trio op. 97 to his patron andprotector Archduke Rudolph of Austria, who was an outstanding pianist in his own right and probably quite often played this large-format work in a private setting.This new finely balanced Super Audio CD offers in its three dimensional format a balanced sound picture which develops the music's full magnificence.
