Ardinghello Ensemble - Beethoven: Serenade Op. 25, String Trio Op. 3

Only a little chamber music for flute by Beethoven has come down to us. The Viennese classical Titan was not particularly fond of this tender instrument. Nevertheless, he managed to pen an elegant, nimble Serenade op. 25, which the Ardinghello Ensemble is nowreleasing along with a new rendering of the magnificent String Trio op. 3.For the Ardinghello Ensemble Beethoven stands at the beginning of an epoch of special interest. The four instrumentalists performing with Karl Kaiser � all of them women � very undogmatically operate with insights provided by historical performance practice and set out in quest of the �Faraway Sound� of romanticism.Recorded in MDG's 2+2+2 sound
