Beethoven’s monumental contribution to Western classical music is celebrated here in this definitive collection marking the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth. Surveying the totality of his career and achievement, the Complete Edition spans orchestral, concerto, keyboard, chamber, music for the stage, choral and vocal works, encompassing his most familiar and iconic masterpieces, alongside rarities and recently reconstructed fragments and sketches in world premiere recordings. The roster of artists and ensembles includes some of Beethoven’s greatest contemporary exponents, in performances that have won critical acclaim worldwide.

After the first two recordings for ARS PRODUKTION, which were dedicated to the rare gems of the string trio repertoire, the excellent Trio Goldberg now turns its attention to Beethoven, whose works have formed a central part of the ensemble's program since it was founded. The three Trios Op. 9 (1797/98) were considered by Beethoven himself to be his most mature compositions at the time they were written. Prepare yourself to be transported into the intense musical world of Beethoven and discover the fullness of these masterpieces.

Among the best-known piano trios, the Eroica Trio is also one of the most successful all-women chamber ensembles in the world. Winners of the 1991 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Competition, the ensemble went on to a successful debut at Lincoln Center and several tours of the United States, Europe, and Asia. The trio quickly gained a reputation for passion and excitement in its performances and for innovative programs.
