DSCH Ensemble Concert: BeethovenFest for the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, considered by many to be the greatest composer in history, the DSCH - Schostakovich Ensemble proposes the concert “BeethovenFest”, presenting, in pre-release, the new album dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven and that includes its two Trios for Piano, Clarinet and Cello, Opus 11 and 38, recorded for the French label Paraty and to be worldwide distributed by Harmonia Mundi PIAS.
The Trio Opus 11 was composed in 1798 and is nicknamed "Gassenhauer" due to its final tempo being a set of variations on a very popular theme from Joseph Weigl's opera "L'amor marinaro" ("Gassenhauer" means popular song). The character is cheerful and humorous, including countless harmonic and rhythmic surprises, but there are also passages where we find a dramatic atmosphere.
The Trio Opus 38, also called “Grand Trio”, was composed between 1802 and 1803 and is an adaptation of Beethoven for piano, clarinet and cello, from his famous Septeto Opus 20, a masterpiece full of optimism and fantasy.
For this concert, and for the new album, DSCH - Schostakovich Ensemble’s artistic director and pianist, Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro, has the company of two of the most acclaimed musicians on the international scene: the French clarinetist Pascal Moraguès and the cellist British Adrian Brendel.
