This trio is a ton of fun to play (as a pianist). But then the entire chamber music literature is... :-)

Oh I wish I was the man at 1:29 who opened the door for Kempff....
-
Kempff and Szeryng recorded Beethoven's trios with ...Fournier!
-
1:34 Kempff is a pimp.
-
Hardly his first piece ever. The Opus 1 Trios were his first published works, coming at the age of 23. Mozart was churning stuff out by the age of six. It just took Beethoven a little longer to get his act together!

When was this done...it looks like 1960's????Maybe just the way they're dressed?
-
Outstanding for his first ever piece! I was expecting a piano sonata in C major but he conjures up complex rythms and modulations. Way better than some of Mozart's first ever pieces.

Love the Beethoven Trios. Thanks for this rare footage of the master musician's rehearsal. We are lucky it exists!



@missionfarstar yes it is from the 60s recorded in Berlin... Kempff has a special way to express Beethoven pieces, he has recorded the Beethoven Sonata cycle twice in his career, nobody knew the sonatas as well as he did! The 32 sonatas played by Kempff was my first ever CD collection! :)

Thank you for posting this. Kempff and Szeryng are two of my favourite musicians. I love the performance and the pep-talk. An inside look at the communication of chamber musicians [great musicians in their own right also]. very interesting!

Kempff is my favourite Beethoven interpreter. Since childhood I listened all of Beethoven sonatas played by Kempff... nobody comes close to him!!!
