Jonathan Leibovitz, Maciej Kułakowski & Ariel Lanyi

Brahms’ late work combines one of his characteristically beautiful slow movements with music with more than a tinge of gypsy style in a piece full of autumnal serenity and muscular vigour. Beethoven’s trio is actually an arrangement of his own large-scale septet, but the reduction in forces seems only to reinforce the work’s dark-hued colouration, lyrical inspiration and fizzing energy. Three of the current musicians in the formidable array of talent promoted by the Young Classical Artists Trust combine for two chamber music masterpieces.
