Beethoven Piano Trio "Archduke" IV Allegro modrato, Presto

[eliyaguy]

this is a nice example of a traditional form of western tai chi mixture of soft and hard styles, using a variety of weapons, sticks, arches, strings, good hand and finger techniue, footwork, moments of sublime slow motion with deadly strokes intercepting. Alltogether a very high performance, to my taste, the body gesture of the cellist and even the pianist are exaggarated, lacking a bit of mental control, but the musical result is superb.

[McTwoddie]

As good as it gets!  Sounds like Rubenstein, Heifetz, and Feuermann - but better recording quality?

Just because the previous andante movement is so sublime and beautiful, it was tough to try to finish this masterpiece, the archduke trio, with something superior, with a dancing and light rythm we find one of the most striking contrasts between a slow movement and the following fast one, yet is also a remarkable ending,long live ludwig van and a special congratulations for the excellent interpreters,long live ludwig van
