Emanuel Ax - Beethoven for Three: Sym 4 & Op 97 Archduke (CD)

Details: Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos, and Yo-Yo Ma's Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 4 and Op. 97 "Archduke, " will be released March 15, 2024 on Sony Classical. Like the artists' two previous Beethoven for Three releases, this new recording challenges the traditional distinction between chamber and orchestral repertoire, pairing the unforgettable Archduke trio with one of the composer's most internally varied symphonies, thoughtfully re-arranged for piano, violin, and cello by Shai Wosner. Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 4 and Op. 97 "Archduke" is the latest chapter in three friends' ongoing exploration of what Beethoven's invention means for musicians and audiences today.
