Schubert / Gould Piano Trio Piano Trios 1 CD

In their second album for Resonus, the Gould Piano Trio returns with a recording of Schubert's Piano Trios. Apart from a very early single movement written when he fifteen years of age, Schubert came to the piano trio late in his short career and left only two full-length works in the form, written in 1827-8. By the time Schubert came to write his piano trios, the form had taken on a new stature thanks to work from composers such as Beethoven. Here, Schubert's Trios in B-flat major and the 'Notturno' in E-flat major are joined by the delightful Valses nobles D969, composed for solo piano and heard here in a world premiere recording in this arrangement for trio by Julius Zellner.
