Ludwig Van Beethoven Arr. Reinecke: Triple Concerto / Carl Reinecke: Piano Trio No. 1

Prolific in every aspect of music throughout his long and distinguished career, Carl Reinecke represented the complete musician with the belief that 'art should bring happiness to mankind'. His imaginative transcription of Beethoven's bravura Triple Concerto sees the three instruments retaining their solo essence and sharing in the orchestral tutti to create a quintessential addition to the piano trio repertory. Heard here in it's world premiere recording, Reinecke's First Piano Trio inhabits the passionate and expressive sound world of Schumann and Mendelssohn.
