Piano Trios "Archduke" and "Ghost"
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Beaux Arts Trio
These piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven were composed in 1808 and 1811. They are chamber works that blend classical forms with an expanding harmonic language and varied textures, the earlier trio coming from Beethoven's middle period with abrupt mood changes and a sombre slow movement, and the later trio using broader textures and a more expansive approach that anticipates elements of his late style.
First released: 25th October 1990
