Schubert: Piano Trios / Notturno / Rondo / Arpeggione Sonata

This new double-album by pianist Lars Vogt, violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff includes some of Franz Schubert's (1797-1828) greatest works of chamber music, including his Piano Trios and the Arpeggione Sonata, in breath-taking interpretations.

Franz Schubert wrote his two numbered Piano Trios, as well as the Notturno for piano trio, during the very last months in his life, in 1827 and 1828. Like Beethoven, Schubert's final works in chamber music are masterpieces of great emotional depth. The famous Arpeggione Sonata (1824) and Rondo for violin and piano (1826) were written slightly earlier, but can also be counted among Schubert's late works.

Pianist Lars Vogt tragically passed away on September 5, 2022 due to a serious illness before this album of Schubert's chamber music was released. This album stands as a great testament of his outstanding chamber musicianship together with his long-time chamber music partners Christian Tetzlaff and Tanja Tetzlaff. "If not much time remains, then it's a worthy farewell. - - Incomprehensible. Such expression. Such fragility, such love." (Lars Vogt)
