This release is the first volume of a new series, Beethoven's Complete Piano Trios performed by the internationally renowned Gould Piano Trio. This dynamic ensemble celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and in these recordings, reveals many different facets of Beethoven's complex character. These performances were recorded live at St. George's Bristol.
"This first instalment in the Gould Piano Trio's complete Beethoven cycle has much to recommend it...[the Variations in E flat major op. 44 are] players with a delicate touch that makes each of the variations a pleasure to listen to individually." (BBC Music)
"Presumably because it comes from a concert, the Gould have chosen a varied programme rather than a chronological approach, which makes for compelling listening. They strike a fine balance, offering playing that is characterful but not unduly interventionist...The Gould judge the extraordinary build-up in the slow movement of the Ghost very finely...taken as a whole, this is a fine and musicianly start to the Gould's Beethoven cycle." (Gramophone)
