The great cellist and his Hungarian pianist partner traverse the Beethovenian repertoire for their instruments, including a set of variations and a sonata from the composer’s early period, one from his middle period, and one from the beginning of his late period.
In this concert bringing together three exceptional musicians whose confluence has been described as forming a ‘super trio’, Beethoven’s major works for string trio comprise the programme – all of them early pieces, dating from between 1794 and 1798.
Here the Beethoven items – written between 1782 and 1803 – are interspersed with works by 20th-century American experimentalists.
