Music reviews of Haydn: Complete Piano Trios

Music Review: Delightful
Rating: 5 Stars

"Delightful" is a single word to describe this recording of Haydn's Piano Trios. I was fortunate to find one of the apparently few remaining copies of the Beaux Arts Trio's performance of the complete Landon edition trios on Philips (Polygram 454 098-2). (This was before the apparent re-release.) This ten and a half hour treasure was originally very well-recorded in the 1970s on analog tape in Switzerland and the Netherlands, then first released on CD in 1991, then again in 1996.

The Beaux Arts plays wonderfully; not much more could be asked from these performances, other perhaps for a slightly more distant microphone perspective. It's amazing that F.J. Haydn had been considered largely irrelevant by his succeeding romantic generations. His compositions are, for lack of a better description, classically classical and far less "cute" than the precocious and better-known works of upstart Mozart. The Beaux Arts is able to infuse the joyful compositional beauty of Papa Haydn's trios with skillful elegance and charm.

There are some definite surprises, particularly in the later works. As others have noted, Haydn presaged the Romantic period in some of his later trios. The variety of compositions presented here are at times beautifully proportioned and balanced, elegant and refined, humorous and witty, joyous and rollicking. In short they aptly display much of the skill, talent and personality of one of my favorite composers.

Description of Haydn: Complete Piano Trios

Haydn's piano trios deserve far more attention than they receive. As music lovers know, they are every bit as rewarding as his symphonies and string quartets, and also very numerous. They are not, however, true trios as we understand the term now. Essentially, Haydn took the sonata for violin and piano and added a cello part to strengthen the weak bass of contemporary pianos. This doesn't inhibit the quality of the music in any way, but it has prevented modern piano trios from taking them up since the cellist usually wants something more exciting to do. All praise, then, to the Beaux Arts Trio for understanding that musical quality is more important than instrumental display. --David Hurwitz
This set, recorded during the 1970s, is still the only complete recording of Haydn's trios. (Imagine if there were only one recording of Mozart's or Beethoven's trios!) In this low-priced, space-saving format, it is one of the greatest chamber music bargains of all time. The great Beaux Arts Trio took its time recording the music, so every piece was thoroughly studied and absorbed before it was recorded. Some period instrument groups might be more stylish or authentic in a given trio, but this is still a splendid series of performances and your only chance to hear all of the music. Take the box on vacation; it doesn't use up much space! --Leslie Gerber
