Triple Concerto

Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, Op. 56, more commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed in 1803 and later published in 1804 under Breitkopf & H'rtel. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio and the only concerto Beethoven ever wrote for more than one solo instrument. This Album was recorded at Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Berlin, on 15-17 September 1969. The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted on this release by Herbert von Karajan and includes the impressive talents of David Oistrakh on violin, Mstislav Rostropovich on cello and Sviatoslav Richter on piano.
