Trio für Klarinette (arr. Rysanov für Bratsche), Cello und Klavier B-dur op. 11 (1797)

A fascinating collection of well-known and unusual Beethoven, including a world premiere recording of the Sonatine in the viola and cello arrangement, and an arrangement for viola and piano by William Primrose of the Theme and Variations from the Serenade for String Trio op.8. Maxim Rysanov and friends reveal the composer in light-hearted mood in the early works, and on the brink of his visionary late creative period in the fifth cello sonata.
