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. Reviews BBC Music Magazine August 2012 “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. – 4 out of 5 stars Gramophone Magazine August 2012 “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. Classical Music 19th May 2012 “This first volume in the Goulds’ series proves utterly successful, deftly contrasting a lively account of the early trio with a vigorous, very much flesh-and-blood version of the Ghost. A most promising start. – 4 out of 5 stars |
