César Franck: Piano Trio No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1/1 [Richter, Kagan, Gutman] (1/3)

Trio concertant No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1/1, for piano, violin and cello (1840)

I. Andante con moto

This piano trio is the début composition of César Franck (1822-1890), the first published work of the Trios concertants, Opp. 1-2 (The other three trios are also posted on this channel). It took me a while to appreciate this work, but now it has become one of my favourite pieces of chamber music, especially when given such a breathtaking, passionate performance. The recording is from a 1983 recital given by Sviatoslav Richter (piano), Oleg Kagan (violin) and Natalya Gutman (cello) in Moscow.

This is my favorite piece of music....

Hmmm, every time I've played this, I've used a very legato style to the piano, instead of staccato/choppy. It's a very good recording, but it seems to lack true emotion. I'll post my trio's version up soon.

Splendid music by one of Classical music's better composers, and the pride of Belgium. It is unfathomable to me why so many talk ill of his music.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
