Beethoven/ Abegg Trio - Beethoven Klaviertrios 2

"Beethoven viewed the three piano trios as his first complete work; you can hear one of them here - in combination with the "Ghost Trio", whose ghostly middle movement was the reason for the title. The Abegg Trio probably offers the most united performance of all the Beethoven Trios on four single CDs. It is powerful, vital playing, yet which always stays controlled, precise and melodious, that makes the performances so attractive. The ensemble sound is very homogeneous and the balance of the instruments outstanding. The commentaries in the booklet are also excellent." (CD-Fuhrer Klassik)
