Overview
An early work by Beethoven and a late work by Schubert mark the historic boundaries of the London Bridge Trio’s programme.
In terms of their contents, however, the two compositions span a vast cosmos of invention. Haydn, present at the première of Beethoven’s Piano Trio Op. 1 No. 3, was surprised and delighted that its well-heeled Viennese audience had ‘so rapidly and easily grasped’ such a quixotic and often tempestuous composition.
The London Bridge Trio were formerly known as the London Bridge Ensemble
