Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording

The Archduke is Beethoven's most popular piano trio, and one of his greatest "middle period" works. There's an image that persists of Beethoven as the composer of one long, heaven-storming, fist-shaking musical temper tantrum. Works like the Fifth Symphony and the Pathetique Piano Sonata add fuel to this fire. But that was only one side of Beethoven's character. He was also a composer of grandly expansive music of almost cosmic serenity, and in pieces like the Violin Concerto, the Fourth Piano Concerto, and this magnificent trio, we see the other side of his musical personality. It's just as exciting, and rather more human, than many people expect. This excellent performance has both of these qualities--excitement and humanity--in abundance. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Really Excellent

Mark R. De Yoe | San Diego, California United States | 04/07/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To be honest, this is the only CD of the "Archduke" I have ever heard. To me the Suttgart Piano Trio is fantastic. The work itself however is a masterpiece. Out of the ton of Beethoven CDs I have collected, this one CD has the most special of places reserved for it. Naxos offers the "Archduke" and the "Ghost" on one CD, or as part of a Volume 1 - 4 set (Vols. 3 & 4). I got it the latter way and I love both CDs. I sent the former to my brother as a gift, and he is happy too. Highest recommendation."
