This section is not intended to be a review of existing CDs. Good critics have done this already, and are experts on the subject. I just wish to draw your attention to particular works and interpretations. Please note that rare works for piano will be found here. |
The Piano Trio opus 63 available at last! |
Trio Osiris: Peter Brunt, violin; Larissa Groeneveld, cello; Ellen Corver, piano. |
Piano trio opus 63 (and piano trio opus
1 no. 3). Opus 63 was "the unobtainable work" of Beethoven. Never recorded until this day, it is a warm performance, accomplished by the Trio Osiris, which we now offer you. If the authenticity of the Piano Trio, adaptation of the string quartet opus 4, is opened for discussion, it is a forgotten fact explained in the discography, that no existing source indicates that Beethoven ever disowned the work. Form your own opinion, and complete your disc collection with the unpublished work! |

Beethoven said that he worked on an idea until he was satisfied. These two CDs show and explain the musical thoughts of the composer. The rough notes are played in their different versions, commented upon and played into their final version. A huge work of great quality! |

Forgotten works by Beethoven, and his master Neefe |
This recording compiles variations by Neefe (1748-1798), Beethoven's teacher from 1793 (probably), and Beethoven's works. Works by Neefe: "9 variations on a theme by Mozart" and "12 variations on a theme by Dittersdorf". Beethoven's works include the lieder written at Bonn, many sketches which made up a symphony in C minor (Hess 298), and some bits of Fischhof. There exists also, at Raptus Records, another CD of sketches of excercises by Haydn and Albrechtsberger... |
