Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1 “Ghost Trio”
Franz Schubert Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 100, D 929
With three gems of chamber music, the Busch Trio celebrates the triumph of art over the adversities of life: In his Piano Trio K. 502, the immortal Mozart plays with light and shadow, yet his choice of B-flat major underscores a hope for a better world. Despite his growing despair over increasing deafness, Beethoven reached a creative peak around the time of composing his 'Ghost Trio'. And faced with the nearness of death, Schubert created nothing less than a masterpiece with his monumental E-flat major Trio.
