Description:

The brothers behind the young trio "Bush Trio" make their debut! The Epstein Brothers, cello and piano players of the young British piano trio, the Busch Trio, who released the complete works of Dvořák for piano and strings (ALPHA467) on the ALPHA label to great acclaim, make their debut on LINN RECORDS. This is a tour de force release of Beethoven's works for cello and piano, suddenly released in a complete set. The collection includes two sonatas for harpsichord or piano and obbligato cello (Op.5) composed by Beethoven in his mid-twenties, the free-form No.4 written in his mid-forties when he was in his mature period, the No.5, which is classically structured with strong character, and variations written between the two sonatas. Born in Israel in 1986 and 1993 and living in London since 2002, they have been playing together as brothers and musicians for 20 years now, and they are a perfect match despite their young age. The music is a fresh depiction of the ups and downs of Beethoven's works, and the flow of melodies and rhythms that unite. Naxos Japan
