    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.
