Piano Trios Opp. 1 & 97 'Archduke'

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Jacqueline du Pré & Pinchas Zukerman & Daniel Barenboim

Piano Trios Opp. 1 & 97 'Archduke' is a collection of piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 (Op. 1) and 1811 (Op. 97). The music spans Beethoven's early classical idiom and his mature middle period, contrasting compact, Haydn- and Mozart-influenced chamber writing with the Archduke trio's broader textures, expanded forms and heightened expressive range that mark an important step in his development.
