Piano Trios: “Archduke” / “Ghost”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Jenő Jandó & Takako Nishizaki & Csaba Onczay

Piano Trios is an album of two piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1811 and 1808. These middle-period chamber works blend Classical forms with expanded structures, richer textures and heightened dramatic interplay between piano and strings, illustrating Beethoven's move towards more expansive and expressive chamber music in the early 19th century.
