Beethoven - Three String Trios, Op. 9 - No. 1 in G Major; No. 2 in D Major; No. 3 in C minor - The Leopold Trio

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
There is something exhilarating about hearing sheer instrumental perfection on this level. The Leopold Trio plays with the kind of precision we hear from, for example, the Emerson String Quartet. At the same time, as good as this playing is, there is still something missing. The competing performances by the Mutter-Giuranna-Rostropovich trio on Deutsche Grammophon offer a lot more punch in this music than the Leopold Trio expresses with its relatively restrained expression and dynamics. Since the M-G-R ensemble doesn't have the same level of knife-edge precision as the Leopold Trio, there's something to be said for both performances. But Beethoven probably would have preferred the group with wider dynamics. Hyperion's program notes are surprisingly brief and superficial. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Still the Best.......2007-01-10

My husband and I have loved the Beaux Arts Trio for many years and were very happy to find the edition of the Beethoven piano trios. The interpretations are superb, the playing is masterful and flawless. As long as the pianist Menahem Pressler will remain with the Trio, we will always try to hear them in concerts or on CD. We own most of their recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Beethoven shines.......2006-09-24

When one thinks of Beethoven, one often imagines the grand symphonic sound. This collection of piani trios, however, is a feather in the wind. They are beautiful and warm. There is room to breathe as one basks in the sheer genius of this composer's gift of melody and composition.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing and eternally listenable.......2006-04-11

I decided one day to look into string chamber music, and lucked out completely by getting this five-disk series.

I was not familiar with these pieces and am still amazed that such sounds were ever created or could be conceived of.

I particularly love the third CD in this production.

I would love to put the first few chords on Trio 7 on my cell phone, it would be so superior to everybody else's little ditties that we all suffer through!

I have listened to this CD for a couple years now and do not tire of it.

4 out of 5 stars Trios and music education.......2006-02-26

I have become interested in trios since we had a visit this year of a wonderful trio that played Haydn, Brahms, and Schubert. I realized here was a whole area I had missed. Since then I have been making up for it. I am learning much about various composers I already thought I understood fairly well. What has been most surprising is the function of music in the home -- the market these pieces were primarily written for. With that in mind, it is certainly interesting to imagine what a home must have been like in the evening with some friends playing these pieces. They must have been fairly accomplished or these would not have gone very well. They are challenging. What does that say about the way people thought? How did music influence their imaginations and their reasoning? (The Mozart Effect). I find that even though I enjoy these what makes them worth having and listening to is this bit of cultural imagining I add to listening to them. That said, I have not figured out yet if I have a favorite. I know the Schubert was the favorite of the cellist that recently visited and he explained why. But that was from the point of view of a person playing. Otherwise, I wonder if these are more like baseball. They can be really boring if you are not in the game.

3 out of 5 stars Caution On This Set.......2006-02-21

The piano is not balanced with the violin and cello, it drowns them out. The violin at times is quite muted and the cello is often indistinct. Listen to the samples critically before buying. I found the same problem on another Philips set of Haydn Piano Trios.

In the main, the youthful Beethoven chamber music collaborations between Daniel Barenboim, Pinchas Zuckerman, and the late Jacqueline du Pré are characterized by broad, liberally fluctuating tempos, ripeness of tone, and a tendency to place expression ahead of stylistic considerations. Zuckerman's sweet vibrato, for instance, seems misplaced in Beethoven's terse, combative syntax (the earlier trios and violin sonatas, for example). Likewise, du Pré's throbbing solo lines impose a late-Romantic patina on the music that some listeners will find more appropriate to Arensky or Glazunov. More often than not, Daniel Barenboim's piano provides the decisive voice, by way of setting tempos and effecting transitions.

While the leaner, more economically expressive Abegg Trio (Tacet) and Vienna Piano Trio (Nimbus) Beethoven Trio offerings better reflect the composer's headlong brio and nervous energy, the Barenboim-Zuckerman-Du Pré team oozes sheer musicality and involvement in every bar. For this reason, one might well prefer Zuckerman and Barenboim's overwrought rapport in the Violin Sonatas to the violinist's tighter RCA remakes with Marc Neikrug at the piano. Du Pré's tragic illness prevented her and Barenboim from tackling the Cello Sonatas in the studio. Happily, their exciting, communicative live 1970 Edinburgh Festival traversals (plus the variation sets) were broadcast by the BBC and captured in excellent sound. So was a touchingly indulgent Tchaikovsky Trio preserved from one of Du Pré's final concerts, included as both a bonus and a memento. Tully Potter's excellent booklet notes give equal time to music and artists, and rightly discuss the performances in the context of their time. It's good to have these recordings gathered in a budget-priced, space-saving box. --Jed Distler

4 out of 5 stars With minor reservations, "excellent".......2004-05-16

As noted above, this 9 CD set resulted from the youthful collaboration of Barenboim, du Pre (soon to wed Barenboim) and Zukerman. Clearly Barenboim is the driving force. As the info booklet asks: "Would Beethoven have approved of what Barenboim does here? Perhaps not, although he would surely have applauded the young man's courage".

Sadly, du Pre's illness (she had MS, forcing her retirement in 1973 and ultimately causing her untimely death) seriously limited the collaboration. Because her illness prevented a studio recording, the cello sonatas are from 1970 live recordings taped by the BBC. The audience noise is distracting, and I simply cannot understand why the coughs and chair scrapings could not have been edited out.

Barenboim and co really do drag out the slow movements; sometimes to good effect, and sometimes too much in my view. For example, the third movement of the Archduke Trio goes for 12:07 on the Naxos recording but extends to 16:02 here (but this one is still a better rendition).

To fill out the last CD, EMI includes Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio Op 50 (taped from a live performance in Tel Aviv in 1972), which is not in the same league as Beethoven's (but I guess they had to do something with the space).

My main complaint is that the thick 3-language info booklet is devoted entirely to the history of the performers and includes not a single word about the music itself!

That said, I am still very glad that I bought this set.

5 out of 5 stars The Beaux Arts Trio At The Height Of Its Artistry.......2001-11-11

Simply the finest recordings I have heard of Beethoven's piano trios. The chemistry amongst cellist Bernard Greenhouse, pianist Menachem Pressler and violinist Isidore Cohen is the finest I've heard from any trio. These performances are replete with ample warmth and grace. Although these aren't state of the art recordings from Philips, the sound quality is excellent, even from the late 1970's analogue recordings that comprise part of this set. Anyone looking for a first rate collection of Beethoven's piano trios will not be disappointed with this splendid set.

5 out of 5 stars Five Stars for Beaux Arts Trio.........2000-06-13

The Beaux Arts Trio continues to be one of the best chamber music groups around. I have several recordings from them, this is my favorite. I have to say that this set may have been my most worthwhile music investment. I urge anyone who enjoys Beethoven and The Beaux Arts Trio to purchase this cd set, it is worth its weight in gold!

5 out of 5 stars Very fine at any price.......2007-06-28

These 2 discs contain fine performances of fine, early Beethoven. Anyone who likes Beethoven, or classical and/or romantic chamber music, should be very happy with these recordings.

About the performers: The Castle Trio, period instrument performers, have been together since 1984, and their experience together shows in these finely integrated performances. They have appeared regularly as trio-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. Pianist Lambert Orkis (here on a period-style forte-piano) is pianist for the National Symphony Orchestra and chief accompanist for Ann Sophie Mutter. The more percussive style of his instrument, compared to modern pianos, well suits this music, for which it was written. Really, you couldn't ask for more from a period instrument performance of this music.

As for the work: The opus 1 trios are the first compositions that Beethoven published for the general public. They are not juvenile works. At age 24 when they were published (they were first performed 2 years earlier), Beethoven already was an accomplished composer residing in Vienna. And already, Beethoven was breaking the classical mold that he inherited from Haydn and Mozart.

Before these, piano trios were mostly easy to perform (and hear) pieces, intended for amateur performers in their homes. Beethoven wrote virtuoso parts for each of the instruments. And he made the trios of symphonic length, adding a fourth movement (minuetto or scherzo) to what had been a 3-movement form. Each of the opus 1 trios clocks in here at over 30 minutes. Especially in the sonata-allegro form first movements, Beethoven also wrote music of symphonic depth, though he would not premier his first symphony for another 5 years, until 1800.

Famously, Haydn advised Beethoven not to publish the no. 3 trio, in c minor, because Haydn believed it was too advanced for Viennese audiences of the day. Haydn may have been right about Viennese tastes, but Beethoven took great offense, and he performed and published it anyway. We should be grateful. This proto-romantic work is the most expressive of the 3.

The Castle Trio rounds out the Opus 1 performances with the 3-movement Opus 11 trio, published in 1798, and two without-opus trios.

There is something exhilarating about hearing sheer instrumental perfection on this level. The Leopold Trio plays with the kind of precision we hear from, for example, the Emerson String Quartet. At the same time, as good as this playing is, there is still something missing. The competing performances by the Mutter-Giuranna-Rostropovich trio on Deutsche Grammophon offer a lot more punch in this music than the Leopold Trio expresses with its relatively restrained expression and dynamics. Since the M-G-R ensemble doesn't have the same level of knife-edge precision as the Leopold Trio, there's something to be said for both performances. But Beethoven probably would have preferred the group with wider dynamics. Hyperion's program notes are surprisingly brief and superficial. --Leslie Gerber

    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!
