Lesser known pieces give alternate look at classical masters
Review By DL93385,May 2010

The lush Chandos sound continues on these recordings of Beethoven's Triple Concerto (violin, cello, piano w/ orchestra) and Brahms' Double Concerto (violin, cello w/ orchestra).

While these pieces pose a challenge to the listener (and quite possibly a challenge to the composers), with the soloing instruments seeming to struggle for their moment in the spotlight, the genius of both composers remains evident.

The 1887 Brahms Double is a darker, sometimes brooding romantic piece. While the 1803 Beethoven Triple is a lighter classically-oriented (read: Mozart) piece.

The soloists from Trio Poseidon and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra play with masterful control and fervor when called upon by maestro Neeme Jarvi.

Overall, highly more....
