About
Beethoven composed five works for string trio in the 1790s. This release presents the three trios from his Op. 9, which, in Beethoven's own opinion, were his most successful compositions from his early years as a composer. Ssens Trio aims to bring this timeless music to a wide audience and to celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest composers of all time. This release follows Ssens Trio's first CD of Beethoven's works, which received the Supersonic Award and was nominated for the prestigious ICMA Awards in 2018. Ssens Trio was founded in 2014 by three prominent musicians with extensive experience in the international music scene. Violinist Solve Sigerland, violist Henninge Landaas, and cellist Ellen Margrete Flesjo have impressive careers, with performances on some of the world's foremost stages. Their collaboration and musical chemistry shine through on this release, promising listeners a remarkable experience.

this is a hugely enjoyable album. The rapport and ease between the three players, who have worked together as a trio for over a decade now, is a welcome given; what delights so much here is the varying characterisation, which is beautifully judged.
