Piano Trios

Johann Nepomuk Hummel - Trio Parnassus - Complete Piano Trios (1989, 90's reissue, MDG # 303 0307-2) Music

"…In conclusion, this is a splendid set covering some of Hummel's most rewarding music in performances that cannot be improved upon. Although there are a few other Hummel recordings that are mighty fine, the 'best of Hummel' is to be found in this MDG set and the Chandos piano concerto disc featuring Stephen Hough. With such wonderful performances, Hummel becomes a worthy alternative to Haydn, Mozart and early Beethoven. The MDG is an essential set worth every penny of its premium price." ~musicweb-international

With the three piano trios Op. 1 Ludwig van Beethoven took a genre still largely associated with entertaining salon music, and raised it up to rival the string quartet. The works are innovative in form as well as in content – especially so in the case of the Trio No. 3 in C minor, Beethoven’s trademark key. It is therefore fitting that the Sitkovetsky Trio has chosen this work to open their cycle of the composer’s piano trios.

Beethoven’s primary reason for settling in Vienna in 1792 was to study with Joseph Haydn, who at the time was widely considered the greatest living composer. Beethoven’s three Piano Trios op. 1 were the first compositions that he deemed important enough to give an opus number. They were dedicated to Prince Karl Lichnowsky, a patron of Beethoven in whose house he lived for some time. According to Beethoven’s lifelong friend Ferdinand Ries, Haydn was complimentary about the set of trios.

Maria-Joao Pires, Augustin Dumay, Jian Wang - Mozart: Piano Trios K. 496 & K. 502 (1997) Music

Posted by tirexiss at Jan. 31, 2020

Not among his best known music, Wolfgang Mozart’s Trios for violin, cello and piano have a lighter feel than his more serious chamber pieces, say the K. 515 String Quintet or the “Dissonant” Quartet. They are more charming than profound, so I’ve always paid them much less attention than his quintets, quartets and violin sonatas, something which I also think true of many listeners. This superb release from Augustin Dumay (violin), Maria Pires (piano) and Jian Wang (cello) helps show their relative obscurity is partly caused by disappointing performances, because I very much enjoyed the three the ensemble include in this disc.

At the age of 23, many young people have ambitious dreams, fewer have clear plans, and still fewer will see them realized. At 23, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy had already achieved a number of goals, each of which would fulfil a musician’s life. He had already written an unforgettable masterpiece such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream; he had conducted and rediscovered Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion; he had an outstanding culture and an amiable personality.
However, of course, he still had many projects. And, at 23, he wrote to his beloved sister, Fanny: “I should like to compose a couple of good trios”. And two “good” – or rather magnificent – piano trios he would write.
