About
Beethoven for Three continues a thread begun by Ax, Kavakos, and Ma at the 2021 Tanglewood Music Festival, where they first played Beethoven’s Symphony no.2 in trio format. Of the performance, The Boston Globe wrote “No pale shadow was this. The arc of the piece was finely honed, with no iteration of any musical idea exactly the same; the gentle smile that lit up Ma’s face when he watched the others during his tacets was music in itself. It’d probably be hard to find a person who was happier to be there.”
The trio’s first recording effort, Brahms: The Piano Trios, was released in 2017 to universal critical acclaim; Gramophone observed that “These performances get straight to the heart of Brahms’s music, relishing its pull of opposites.” Brahms: The Piano Trios was followed by a tour which was also met with rave reviews; the Chicago Tribune wrote that “One could only marvel at how intuitive and spontaneous these performances were… Chamber music playing doesn't get any better than this.”
Now, the trio continue their success with Beethoven for Three: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 5 – an album not to be missed, showcasing some of western classical music’s favourite pieces, performed by three of the most celebrated and acclaimed artists alive today.
