Beethoven – Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 1 No. 3 | Timeless Harmony

🎼 Beethoven – Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 1 No. 3 A dramatic and forward-looking masterpiece, Beethoven’s Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor stands as the most intense and symphonically conceived of his Opus 1 set. Filled with bold contrasts, storm-laden harmonies, and unmistakable Beethovenian fire, this trio already hints at the composer’s later heroic style. The tension of the opening movement, the expressive lyricism of the Andante, the restless energy of the Scherzo, and the powerful, driving finale all come together to form one of Beethoven’s earliest truly profound chamber works. This performance—captured in the superb acoustic of the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin—features three world-class musicians whose artistry brings the score’s emotional depth into vivid focus: 🎹 Piano: Daniel Barenboim 🎻 Violin: Michael Barenboim 🎻 Cello: Kian Soltani Recorded on December 5, 2019, and released under Deutsche Grammophon, this interpretation offers both precision and passion, revealing the genius of Beethoven’s early period with clarity and warmth. A beautifully engineered FLAC recording preserves every nuance of this exceptional chamber performance.
