A concerto for four? The Triple Concerto may well be one of Beethoven's most enigmatic works: some commentators have seen it as no more than a vast rhapsody intented to show off the virtuosity of three hand-picked soloists. But when a piano trio that regularly plays together turns its attention to the piece, it takes on a quite different aspect: it becomes a genuine "Concerto for trio and orchestra". In fact the "Triple" shares the same Beethovenian ideal as the heroic quest that is Egmont: and in the case of the incidental music for his drama Goethe recognised – for once! – that the composer had "penetrated his intensions with admirable genius"… This title was released for the first time in 2001. “Harteros is wonderful in her solos in the Egmont incidental music.” BBC Music Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“The warm, expansive music-making confirms even more clearly than before that the old view of this as one of Beethoven's weaker works is quite wrong. The three Soviet soloists revel in the multiplicity of ideas, with Richter in the spare piano part providing a tautening influence.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 & Triple Concerto
A high density DSD recording, live at the Barbican Centre on 16-27 November 2005 “Nothing like having your expectations challenged, especially in Beethoven where interpretative templates tend to settle for good. Past experience of Bernard Haitink in the symphonies left an impression of worthiness and generalised musicality; but the first instalment of the conductor's projected live Beethoven symphony cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra witnesses a significantly increased adrenalin count. As well as being vital and intelligently thought through, Haitink's new Seventh honours all repeats and has the inestimable advantage of spatially divided violin desks, particularly telling in the clear but relatively dry Barbican Hall acoustic. The first movement's bracing rhythms gambol rather than storm and there's genuine tenderness in the Allegretto. The Scherzo's dancing gait and the unforced momentum of the finale is very attractive.
What's strong about the Haitink's excellent Triple Concerto is its sense of architecture, the way Haitink builds the opening tutti so that the climactic passage where winds alternate with strings (2'04") establishes a real sense of arrival.
Interesting Haitink's soloists seem more integrated within the rest of the band than sopme versions, less in terms of sound than overall playing-style: inspired moments include Tim Hugh's rapt opening phrases in the second movement. And James Mallinson's integrated sound-picture for LSO Live is very pleasing.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 “Aside from the architectural splendour of his performances, the sound he makes from the LSO is something you have to hear” The Guardian | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
