Description
»If Beethoven had lived only a few years earlier or later, he would have become a different composer«, conductor and musicologist Jan Caeyers is convinced. The revolutionary spirit of his era characterizes Beethovenְ’s »Eroica« as well as the »Triple Concerto« for piano, violin, and cello, written shortly afterward, in which a top-class trio of soloists have the opportunity to shine. In addition, the mature piano sonata op. 54: Beethoven in his prime!
