Beethoven / Gould Piano Trio Piano Trios 4 CD

This is the concluding disc in a four-CD collection of Beethoven's complete music for piano trio, recorded live by the Gould Piano Trio in a series of concerts at St. George's, Brandon Hill in Bristol, UK. We end the series with a unique coupling that marries the very first work Beethoven wrote for piano trio - the little Trio in E flat composed when he was 22 - with his last work, the supreme masterpiece known as "Archduke" written 20 years later. This CD marks the culmination of one of the most important chamber music recording projects by a British ensemble in recent years.
