Schubert Trios

To mark Schubert's 214th birthday, Alina Ibragimova (violin), Alban Gerhardt (cello) and Steven Osborne (piano) perform Schubert Piano Trios - No 1 in B flat and No 2 in E flat.

Presented by Martin Handley

To celebrate Schubert's 214th birthday, a trio of today's most eminent chamber musicians performs an all-Schubert programme, opening with one of the composer's greatest masterpieces. Piano Trio No. 1 has a carefree, untroubled character, evident through its bright stream of spontaneous melodies and overriding sense of energy and vitality. Schubert's Second Piano Trio has a more turbulent, darker side, but the composer himself reputedly considered it to be the better work.

Schubert: Piano Trio No.1 in B flat, D.898
Schubert: Piano Trio No.2 in E flat, D.929

Alina Ibragimova (violin)
Alban Gerhardt (cello)
Steven Osborne (piano).
