Oberlin Trio - Franz Joseph Haydn: Piano Trios, Vol. 7 (Nos. 16, 19, 35, 37 and 41)

Much of Joseph Haydn�s musical life was spent in service at the palace of Eszterh�za on the Hungarian plains, a complex of buildings to rival Versailles in magnificence. Haydn�s reputation abroad was, however, already considerable by 1790, and he was invited to travel to London where the delightfully lively and at times brilliantly virtuosic trios Hob.XV:16 and 19 were published. Further trios from the 1760s express music of sheer joy, all performed here by the acclaimed Oberlin Trio.
