Boccherini / La Real Camara - Sei Terzettini Op. 47 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With it's first of two GENUIN albums, the Trio Boccherini proves that Beethoven's string trios are more than finger exercises by the composer along the way to writing quartets. Opus 9 is a rarely recorded and performed early work by the master, and yet they already reveal Beethoven in his entirety, as it were, in a tonally condensed form. The ensemble, alumnus of the European Chamber Music Academy, draws on members from three different continents to bring together diverse aspects of their musical education-at the highest level!

Ludwig van Beethoven left only a few works for the string trio, and, unlike his quartets, they are played far too seldomly. The Trio Boccherini now presents a complete recording of these trios on the GENUIN tag to draw attention to this. The program includes Beethoven's first two works in this genre, the Trio op. 3 and the Serenade op. 8. Ranging between evening entertainment and the concert hall, between music from his youth and maturity, the works are in any case true Beethoven full of spirit, profound and with great élan! The Trio Boccherini plays historically informed without being dogmatic, technically sophisticated without being hard-nosed - in other words, with passion and verve! Album Tracks 1. String Trio Op. 3 in E Flat Major 2. Serenade Op. 8 in D Major
