At the heart of Trio Origo's repertoire are the earliest trios composed for clarinet, cello and piano. The origins of the repertoire lie in the ‘Gassenhauer’ Trio composed by Beethoven in 1797 for a clarinettist, probably Joseph Bähr, who also suggested to the composer that he use a hit tune - known as a ‘Gassenhauer’ - from a recent opera by Joseph Weigl. Beethoven (uncharacteristically, but with perhaps an eye on the work’s future commercial success) duly obliged, and made Weigl’s tune the basis for his theme-and-variations finale - but he also produced a version of the trio substituting the clarinet for the violin to ensure its popularity.
An adroit piece of reverse compositional engineering produced the Op.38 Trio from the Septet Op.20. The Septet was one of Beethoven’s most popular early works, and resulted in a string of arrangements for smaller forces, most of them made by other hands, but the composer himself produced this arrangement for clarinet trio, which happily amplifies the solo instrument’s prominence in the Septet. He never wrote a more joyous melody than the main subject of the first movement, and the work as a whole finds the composer at his most relaxed. While Beethoven’s clarinet writing has never received the attention accorded to Mozart’s, he wrote for it with no less warmth and affection, and this pair of trios displays a winning, sunny side of the composer that is often overshadowed by the cantankerous instrumental dramatist of popular myth and legend.
The Finnish members of Trio Origo all pursue successful careers with chamber and period-instrument ensembles such as the Tapiola Sinfonietta, the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, but they have been performing Classical-era clarinet trios together since 2004, ranging beyond Beethoven to explore little-known gems by his contemporaries. This recording is the fruit of their study and performing experience over more than 15 years together.

I like the fortepiano sound - it brings out the Mozartian dimensions to Beethoven's writing

Thank you

[@GalinaMartinova-dx7xt]

Beethoven is brilliant!!!

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser beiden spätklassischen und fein komponierten Trios im veränderlichen Tempo mit klarem Klang des historischen Klaviers, bezaubendem Ton der Klarinette und mildem Ton des Naturhorns. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den drei Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Echt wervolle Aufnahme!

[@urmorph]

The E-flat Trio is B's arrangement of the Septet. Always get the maximum monetary mileage out of your hits.

[@marcosPRATA918]

Música de câmara, mais intimista. O piano, o clarinete e o cello brincam. Essa interpretação é excelente.

[@hannawagenknecht6378]

Beethoven macht Mut und Freude zugleich

[@didierschein8515]

Ja.

[@umovilac]

Brilliant Classics for ever!!!

[@exerciserelax8719]

I have to say I usually prefer modern pianos but I love the sound of the period piano here.

[@rsjmd]

Same here, but fortepianos are close enough that I no longer object to them.

[@urmorph]

The period piano is called that because it is inadequate, period. Found in grandma's attic. Not up to snuff. Poor Beethoven--struggled all his life to get more powerful instruments, only to have his musical heirs revert to this. A degree in musicology is no substitute for a functional pair of ears.

[@duncanmacpherson2013]

Is it a harpsicord?

[@arielorthmann4061]

@@duncanmacpherson2013 no, it's a pianoforte

The clarinete instead a violin produces a very original mix of sounds which I honestly prefer than conventional trios.

[@andreagriseri7656]

One of the less significant works by Beethoven. The trio Stadler k 498 by Mozart is far superior. I thank you because for appreciating the masterworxs we must listen to the minor Beethoven

Harsh performances
