Haydn's piano trios undoubtedly form the keystone of a genre created just a short time before he began writing them; the Romantic literature offers no body of works of such consistent excellence. In this domain, even the great Mozart did not manage such a perfect match between instrumental style and the musical language of the time. Two hundred years after these trios were written, three artists set out to revive them on period instruments. The result is recorded here.
"Cohen, Höbarth and Coin maintain the high standards...astutely balancing vigour and subtlety, elegance and passion." (BBC Music)
"Delightfully conversational playing from three fine musicians, especially Patrick Cohen on fortepiano." (BBC Music)
