Beethoven: Piano Trios, Vol. 3

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These two Trios were published together as Beethoven's Op. 70. The first is better known, probably because of its nickname ("Ghost," after the spooky quality of its slow movement), but both are splendid examples of middle-period Beethoven chamber music. The Stuttgart Piano Trio's performances are among the best currently available at any price, and the participation of producer Teije van Geest insures excellent recorded sound. An outstanding bargain. --Leslie Gerber

    These two Trios were published together as Beethoven's Op. 70. The first is better known, probably because of its nickname ("Ghost," after the spooky quality of its slow movement), but both are splendid examples of middle-period Beethoven chamber music. The Stuttgart Piano Trio's performances are among the best currently available at any price, and the participation of producer Teije van Geest insures excellent recorded sound. An outstanding bargain. --Leslie Gerber

    5 out of 5 stars A Revealing Coupling, Wonderfully Played, at a Great Price.......2006-01-26

    It is a little difficult to procure a copy of the opus 70/2 without buying a complete set of Beethoiven's works for piano trio ensemble, and these complete sets often include a lot of lightweight filler material (mostly variations) that you won't really listen to all that much. Therefore, I was glad to see that Naxos coupled the 70/2 with the much better-known and more widely available "Ghost" trio, which is usually paired with the awesome "Archduke" trio. The "Ghost" is well known and rightly so. It is typical of the trubulent dimension of Beethoven's middle period and has a gloriously melancholy and foreboding slow movement. The 70/2 is a more spacious and meditative piece (not in the same league as the "Archduke" but excellent nevertheless), although it does have its fiery moments. For this reason, I think it is right that the two should be packaged together, since they perfectly encapsulate and illustrate the duality in Beethoven's compositions during his middle period. The Opus 70/2 is to the "Ghost" what the fourth piano concerto, the "Pastoral" symphony and the violin concerto are to the fifth symphony, the "Appassionata" and the "Emperor" piano concerto.

    The playing is outstanding. The Stuttgart Piano Trio have some excellent recordings of Beethoven and Schubert under their belt (I've reviewed and highly recommended them elsewhere), and any purchase of their recordings is a safe bet re. quality of sound and depth of interpretation. They have played together a long time and it shows. For sheer, unsurpassable je ne sais quoi magic, I don't think anyone can beat the Kempff/Fournier/Szerbing(sp.?) set for its utterly transcendent rendering of the "Ghost" trio's slow movement, but that set is harder to find and more expensive. Also, there are the merits of Naxos's having the two opus 70 trios together, which I have already discussed. I see Naxos recordings have become a little more expensive on Amazon of late, but they're still the best bargain in the classical music industry. If you're a chamber music fan, and/or a Beethoven fan who wants to complement the essentials with some of those slightly lesser-known but by no means slight works, then this recording, and indeed the entire Stuttgart set of Beethoven's piano trios, is for you.

    5 out of 5 stars Delectable Beethoven.......2003-03-07

    Maybe these performers don't elicit the last ounce of pathos from the trios as some ensembles, but that was never their intent. These are simply the best performances of the trios available. Other groups (e.g. Stern/Istomin/Rose) may outshine Kempff, et al. here or there, but no other ensemble conveys the joy of the early works and the sublime beauty of the later works with such light-heartedness and dignity as Kempff, Fournier, and Szeryng. In short, this is joyous music-making. Buy this set!

      This disc (Vol. 2) has the least great music in the Stuttgart Piano Trio's comprehensive series of Beethoven's Piano Trios. The Trio No. 3 is the last of the great Op. 1 set, which was Beethoven's first publication as a mature musician. The other works are all early and rather trivial--including Op. 44, one of a series of early pieces that Beethoven's brother sold to a publisher after the composer had become famous. Still, with performances and recording of this quality offered at such a ridiculously low price, you can afford to indulge in the disc even if you only listen to half of it. It's still a bargain. --Leslie Gerber
