As a young man, Beethoven was so impressed by Haydn's string quartets that he avoided writing any of his own, although he did compose many other chamber works, including string and piano trios. Penny Gore introduces a selection, ending with a complete performance of the Trio in B flat, Op 11, given by Robert Plane (clarinet), Martin Storey (cello) and Benjamin Frith (piano).
