Beethoven: The Piano Trios
Oliver Schnyder Trio
There’s a good deal of wit and frivolity in Beethoven’s Trios which the Schnyders tackle with clean, warm grace, although a smidge more weight would be welcome in places.

About
The main mission of The Oliver Schnyder Trio (Andreas Janke, violin, Oliver Schnyder, piano, and Benjamin Nyffenegger, cello) is to celebrate classical works written for trio and commission new compositions. Their first grand opus is this timeless recording of Beethoven’s works for piano trio in a special 3CD set. The music of Ludwig van Beethoven is revolutionary and reaches far beyond the time of writing. Beethoven was unique, but at the same time, offered a central point of departure for new traditions of composition. The Oliver Schnyder Trio made their debut at the Zurich Tonhalle in 2012. Their recording of Schubert’s Piano Trios was hailed as “a new benchmark recording” by the magazine Die Bühne and was chosen as Switzerland’s Best Classical Album of the Year by the Aargauer Zeitung.
