Trio Gaspard

The German-English-Greek trio Gaspard can almost be described as old hands on the piano trio scene. After all, they celebrated their 15th anniversary last year. Despite the flawlessness of their playing, they have retained their intellectual freshness and agility, which is reflected in their contrasting programs. The ensemble is currently devoting itself to the complete recording of all 46 piano trios by Joseph Haydn. And the specialist magazine "The Strad" praised the "mastery of music and musicians". At the same time, rarely performed masterpieces are tracked down. One of the most recent discoveries is the piano trio by Armenian composer Arno Babadjanian, written in 1952. This rarity is flanked by two absolute repertoire classics by Haydn and Beethoven.

Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

Piano Trio in F major Hob. XV:2

Arno Babadjanian (1921-1983)

Piano trio in F sharp minor

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Piano Trio No. 6 in E flat major op. 70 No. 2
