About

Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos, and Yo-Yo Ma’s Beethoven for Three: Symphony no.4 and Op. 97 “Archduke”, is released on Sony Classical. Like the artists’ two previous Beethoven for Three releases, this new recording challenges the traditional distinction between chamber and orchestral repertoire, pairing the unforgettable “Archduke” Trio with one of the composer’s most internally varied symphonies, thoughtfully re-arranged for piano, violin, and cello by Shai Wosner. Beethoven for Three: Symphony no.4 and Op.97 “Archduke” is the latest chapter in three friends’ ongoing exploration of what Beethoven’s invention means for musicians and audiences today.

Reviews

Their reading of the Archduke of course enters a crowded field, and what comes across above all is an unhurried bonhomie, the first movement imbued with an egalitarian good humour. ... Their finale, less driven than the Beaux Arts, Florestan or sinuous Chung Trio, is proof that, in the hands of charismatic musicians, you can leave aside expectation and simply be convinced by their musicianship, with the final Presto setting the seal on a reading of panache.  Harriet Smith
Gramophone April 2024
