Gould Piano Trio showcase work by forgotten Russian star Leonkadiya Kashpèrova & Beethoven

Gould Piano Trio perform a recently discovered piano trio by Leokadiya Kashpèrova, pianist-composer of Rubinstein's elite class of 1895, and Beethoven's Opus 1 Trio in G.

Gould Piano Trio shine a spotlight on a recently discovered piano trio by Leokadiya Kashpèrova found in the Russian National Museum of Music in Moscow in 2019. 

Kasperova was a leading student of Rubinstein's elite class at the St Petersburg Conservatoire first as a pianist and then as a composer but her work has been largely forgotten. The Russian musical gazette in 1912 remarked that 'Her gifts as a composer are a most welcome phenomenon of St Petersburg’s musical life' however following the unrest and revolution in 1917 she was forced to leave musical life in St Petersburg and went into hiding. In later life, she limited herself to piano recitals of music acceptable to the state, which did not include her own works. She was also the piano teacher of Igor Stravinsky.
