In this new Chaconne release, Trio Goya offers unique accounts of Beethoven's early piano trios, revealing on period instruments and in the magical acoustic of the Britten-Pears Auditorium at Aldeburgh's Snape Maltings the extraordinary range of colors and narratives that these pieces suggest. Beethoven's Opus 1 features amongst Trio Goya's central repertoire, played regularly in the UK's most prestigious venues and beyond. After a recent Wigmore Hall concert, Early Music Today wrote that "Trio Goya sent us home spinning on the delights and laughter of early Beethoven. His piano trio opus 1 No. 1 frothed and bubbled down the finale's theme, the musicians swept along by their own hell-for-leather, immaculately kept tempo." These pieces mark a kind of beginning in Beethoven's career. They were indeed planned and executed, over a period of two years, with unprecedented care and skill; they mark the start of a new creative period for the young genius, which is distinct from the younger Bonn years and is fully deserving of the label 'first maturity' conferred by the musicologist Lewis Lockwood.
