About
Following a highly praised first instalment, Trio con Brio Copenhagen continue their journey through the piano trios of Beethoven with Volume II of their twentieth anniversary cycle. On this recording the youthful Op.1 No.2 is coupled with the trio in E flat major, Op.70 No. 2, an altogether more intimate work and one full of the composer's natural warmth.

A thoroughly beguiling programme. Trio Con Brio deliver brisk readings, buoyant with dance rhythms and understated wit…The ensemble is intimate and properly chamber-sized, and Orchid’s sound captures it well. If there’s slightly too much bloom on the piano, at the expense (as is often the case with piano trios) of Soo-Kyung Hong’s cello tone, it does at least let the delicate, bell-like clarity of pianist Jens Elvekjaer’s right hand really sparkle.
