The Sitkovetsky Piano Trio is one of the most acclaimed of the current generation, and won the Chamber Category of the 2022 BBC Music Magazine Awards. This intriguing and attractive concert starts with Mozart’s Piano Trio in B flat major K502, written at the height of Mozart’s musical powers and today regarded as virtually perfect chamber music. Then Beethoven’s Ghost Piano Trio. Why ‘Ghost’? The name was coined by Carl Czerny, pianist, composer, pupil and friend of Beethoven who wrote that the (very) slow movement always reminded him of the appearance of Banquo’s ghost in Macbeth! Then, in contrast, to Schubert’s gloriously life-affirming Piano Trio in B flat major D 898, with its sublime finale.
