About

These CDs present all of Beethoven’s music for string trio, even including the alternative ‘trio’ (Hess 28) of the Scherzo movement of Op 9 No 1. Although these works bear early opus numbers they should not be regarded as anything other than first-class, mature Beethoven. They are fine, absorbing pieces, not as well known as they should be—a state of affairs which these wonderful CDs should do much to rectify.

Reviews

This repertoire has been recorded by some world-famous artists in the past, but no performances have given me as much pleasure as these. A real treat

Classic CD

A remarkably gifted young ensemble who bring classical elegance to these glorious works

One of the best and most beautiful ensembles to emerge blinking into the sunlight from London’s conservatoires in recent years

2011 edition

The performances by the Leopold Trio are particularly alive and fresh and the Hyperion recording is remarkably real and vivid.

26th September 2010

These are not mere student essays. The weight and fullness of sound Beethoven gets from the three instruments is extraordinary...Op 9, No 3, is particularly fine, with one of Beethoven’s most beautiful slow movements, but No 2 is hardly less so. Opp 3 and 8, too, are rewarding works, as the Leopold trio demonstrate in their masterly performances.

The most sensitive reportage that these works have enjoyed since the advent of digital recording

[A] startlingly good debut

An outstanding pair of discs
