Variations in G on 'Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu' Op. 121a
Archduke Op. 97
Overview
One of the world’s finest piano trios returns to Wigmore Hall to perform two richly contrasted works by Beethoven. The composer based his delightful Variations in G on a song popular in Vienna in the early 1800s. His ‘Archduke’ Trio, meanwhile, turns to loftier matters and projects a sense of symphonic grandeur and spiritual nobility.
