BEETHOVEN: Triple Concerto, Op. 56 & Trio, Op. 36 - Freiburger Barockorchester, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Alexander Melnikov, Pablo Heras-Casado and Isabelle Faust

After a successful trilogy devoted to the concertos and trios of Schumann, the team assembled alongside the Freiburger Barockorchester and Pablo Heras-Casado could not ignore one of Beethoven’s most unusual works: the Triple Concerto. They bring this score to life as only true chamber musicians can, revealing its subtlest colours and balances. The trio transcription of the Second Symphony, which was supervised by the composer himself, judiciously completes this exploration of lesser-known Beethoven, in which intimacy mingles with grandeur.
