The pianist Alon Goldstein, violinist Ilya Kaler and cellist Amit Peled, wonderful instrumentalists in their own right, have been playing together for a number of years. Now they call their ensemble the Tempest Trio. The Tempest has embarked on an exploration of all Beethoven trios for piano and strings. Beethoven wrote piano trios throughout most of his creative life, starting with Op. 1 and finishing with the “Archduke” in 1811. If we count trios without opus numbers, then the total comes to 12, so the Tempest, and its listeners, are set for a wonderful journey. We have three trios in our library, numbers 4, 5, and 7. Today we present Trio no 7 op. 97, “Archduke.” To listen, click here.
