Beethoven Piano Trios - Op. 1 No 3, Op. 11 & Op. 44

The Rautio Piano Trio returns with this second volume of Beethoven’s Piano Trios, recorded on period instruments. The album features his Op. 11 trio – ‘Gassenhauer' – together with his Piano Trio Op. 1 No. 3, showcasing the young composer’s early mastery of the genre; and his virtuosic Variations for Piano Trio Op. 44.

This is the culmination of the Trio’s wider project charting the evolution of the piano trio from its emergence in the mid-eighteenth century, with the music of J.C. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, Mozart and Haydn, through to Beethoven’s complex and mature realisation of the genre.

The new Beethoven album is available to buy here and on all major streaming services.

This project was supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation
