Just as Nicholas Kitchen has so persuasively demonstrated Beethoven's careful and deliberate use of underlines in the expressive markings of his manuscripts, so too did he add underlines to his correspondences when he wanted to make a particularly emphatic point, as he did about Bach in an 1801 letter to his publishers, the storied Leipzig firm of Breitkopf & Härtel. As evidenced by the two quotes above, Beethoven’s admiration for Bach was well-known in his time; the “not Bach, but Ocean” is a play on the German word, as Bach translates as a “small brook,” such as might flow from a wellspring.

    Current Review

    Current Review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Complete String Trios aud 97.773 EAN: 4022143977731 4022143977731 American Record Guide (2021.01.01) Mozart’s Divertimento K 563 is widely regarded as the finest string trio ever written. It is in 6 movements rather than the usual 4, and the title is Divertimento, but don’t let those aspects of the work turn you off to it; it is not a mere diversion. It has some of Mozart’s loveliest writing for strings. It is also one of his longest chamber works, clocking in at threequarters of an hour. I assure you that Mozart didn’t pad the material to fill time, either. Every note counts. Jacques Thibaud String Trio was founded in 1994 at the Arts University in Berlin. Their current membership is violinist Burkhard Mais, violist Hannah Strijbos, and cellist Bogdan Jianu. They play well together and perform this work with more taste and sense of proportion than some other groups I’ve heard. I can recommend this performance, but they are up against stiff competition. Isaac Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, and Leonard Rose made a very fine recording in 1975. Gidon Kremer, Kim Kashkashian, and Yo-Yo Ma made a wonderful recording in 1985. That is my favorite. It is exquisitely polished yet very soulful. The musicians really sing and produce ravishing sounds (unusual for the perpetual enfant-terrible Kremer). The classic recording is by Jascha Heifetz, William Primrose, and Emanuel Feuermann from 1941. It shows its age, yet it is the most brilliant ever made. Some may not like it because of the exhibitionism of the players, all of whom were the greatest virtuosos of their age, but I like hearing such assured playing where all technical obstacles are surmounted with effortless aplomb and panache.

Only four quartets follow them, the lone K. 499 in D major, composed in 1786 and known as the "Hoffmeister" quartet, and the three quartets known as the "Prussian" quartets. They owe their name and genesis to what has generally assumed to have been a commission for six quartets from King Frederick William II of Prussia. The king, a keen amateur cellist, had received Mozart at Potsdam during the visit of the latter in the spring of 1789. After Mozart returned to Vienna he quickly completed the first of the quartets, K. 575 in D, but thereafter made no further attempt to add to Frederick William's quartets for another year. Mozart's dilatory attitude to proceeding with the set may be in part accounted for by the commission he and his librettist Lorenzo da Ponte received for Così fan tutte, which probably arrived late in the summer of 1789.

This trio belongs to another league!" Ensemble Magazine Founded in 2010, Trio Gaspard are one of the most sought- after piano trios of their generation, praised for their unique and fresh approach to the score.

Trio Gaspard are winners of three major international competitions since their inception. They won first prizes and special prizes at the International Joseph Joachim Chamber Music Competition in Weimar, the 5th International Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna and the 17th International Chamber Music Competition in Illzach, France.

In 2017, they performed a commission from Irish composer Gareth Williams at the Belfast Music Society, broadcasted live by the BBC.
