Schubert: Piano Trios D. 929 and 897
Trio Vitruvi
BRIDGE 9510

Schubert's great E flat major trio had its first performance on December 26, 1827 at a concert in the Musikverein with the legendary violinist Ignaz Schuppanzigh, who had given first performances of Beethoven’s five last string quartets earlier in the decade. Trio Vitruvi returns to Schubert's gem, giving us the original (longer) version of the score in an impassioned reading.

Reviews:

“Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat is one of two great piano trios composed over a span of two weeks in 1827...an outstanding reading in this new Bridge Records release.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay
