Beethoven: Piano Trios (Ghost, Archduke) - Capucon, Capucon & Braley

Renaud Capuçon, Gautier Capuçon and Frank Braley, well established as chamber-music partners, perform two of Beethoven's greatest piano trios, the 'Ghost' and the 'Archduke'.

"Together, all three musicians have the quality that is the most priceless of all in playing chamber music," wrote The Guardian when the Capuçons and Braley played the 'Archduke' at London's Wigmore Hall, "they listen intently to each other and always take note of what they do. Their account of the Archduke Trio... had a tremendous sense of organic coherence."
