This programme is created around a specific piano, the 1819 Graf, and presents two icons of the repertoire (Beethoven’s Ghost and Schubert’s op. 100) alongside a little-known gem: the single movement Beethoven wrote for pianist Maximiliane Brentano, the woman who inspired Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther. Beethoven bares his soul in the middle movement of Ghost, a meditation on tragedy, despair and hope, while the outer movements sizzle with energy and humour. Schubert’s E-flat trio is from his last year of life; it’s hard not to imagine the composer in ill health, desperately trying to express everything he could. Listeners familiar with piano trios played on modern instruments will be surprised: this ensemble sounds more like a string quartet, with each of the pianist’s hands acting as an instrument of its own.
