Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch

This initial instalment comprises the first trio from Beethoven’s official Op. 1, published in 1795, and first performed in front of his teacher Haydn at the home of his patron Prince Lichnowsky that same year. The first of his two trios Op. 70 (1809), whose eerie slow movement led the composer’s pupil Carl Czerny to compare it to the ghost scene in Hamlet, closes the morning programme.
