From Edinburgh, the Amatis Trio perform music by Beethoven and Enescu.

From Edinburgh, the Amatis Trio perform music by Beethoven's Trio in B flat, Op 11, and Enescu's Trio No 1 in G minor.

The first of our concerts from the Queen’s Hall this week features former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Amatis Trio.  One of Beethoven’s early works for piano trio opens this recital, written in his twenties, with a theme and variations on a popular song of the time from Joseph Weigl’s comic opera Il Corsaro.  Romanian composer George Enescu’s Piano Trio No 1 follows, an intricate and passionate work written when he was a teenager and rarely performed. 

The programme is presented by Elizabeth Alker.
