Description:

Beethoven's 250th Birthday Commemorative EditionThe young trio's freshly recorded complete works are now available in a boxed set! Beethoven's 250th anniversary release! The complete piano trio recordings by this remarkable trio of young virtuosos are now available in a boxed set. The complete set includes not only the seven numbered works, from the three pieces Beethoven designated "Op. 1" as his calling card to the most famous masterpiece of the genre known by the nickname "Grand Duke," but also symphonies, arrangements of septets, variations, and other works in piano trio form. The Triple Concerto with the piano trio as soloist is also included. The sound is beautifully recorded by Bert van der Wolf, the label's master recording engineer, with a clear yet elegant sound. This is a must-have box set for the new era of great complete works. Minnaar, born in 1984, is a Dutch pianist who has won many international competitions, including the third prize at the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition.While keeping the ensemble firmly together, the music's character is fully brought to life with a skillful division of playing between the light, salon-like works and Beethoven's profound works in which he pursued his own art. The performance is totally exhilarating, with a sense of freedom and a cheerful, playful spirit. Here is real chamber music that comes close to the listener and resonates as something very personal."(Gramophone Magazine) King International
