I read that this was the last public performance of Beethoven where, of course, he was playing the piano. The performance had to stop as he could not keep pace with the other soloists. And, again, of course it was when his deafness had finally overcome him. Saying that, this piece has a special place in my heart. It expresses the character of Beethoven in every way. There is so much in this piece that just demands to be returned to again and again and again.
After Oshima took me to Schubert and his imperfection, now the coffee shop owner and Hoshino have brought me here . I have to thank you Murakami, I never had a friend who could introduce me such musics that you did.
I once heard this in a chamber festival in a church in Umeå, Sweden, it was early summer, the sun was still there even if it was late, and afterwards I was so happy! One of my lifes most memorable music moments.
Came here after reading Kafka on the shore. I have no connection and knowledge about classic music, but it sure sounds beautiful! Glad I checked it out and will definitely come back to listen to it again!
What a delight! This performance captures the very essence of chamber music, of its profound intimacy. Beethoven´s "Archduke" caresses both the ear and the soul. There is no drama, no conflicts, no sharp edges as in most of his other superb compositions, just wit, joy, musical poetry and celestial beauty. I am overwhelmed and thankful.
One of the most beautiful things in chamber music is the "sign language" between the participants. Here they express so vividly this wonderful style of communication! Even at the end, Ani catches superfast with her eyes the slight bow of Paul 🙂
Oh My. These musicians are indeed exhorting Beethoven to release his anxieties. So, so well done. Beautiful understanding of Beethoven. Really quite wonderful.
Perhaps Beethovens best piano trio? I think it is, with this flowing melody in the Allegro Moderato, and then this wonderful third movement, Andante Cantabile, like poetry in motion. Very well played, Camerata Pacifica.
This performance was an inspired revelation. The artists here are superb! I can’t imagine a better performance. Their playing of the last movement lifted my spirits. Thank you!
I agree. I love this piece, and many look upon the Zukerman, Barenboim, DuPre performance as being the definitive performance. However, I prefer this one, which for me is the best I have hard. They capture the soul of Beethoven, clearly enjoy what they play with a passion, and their timing and emphasis is immaculate.
I don't believe I've been hiding under a rock for the last decade or two, yet I have not encountered this group of players until now. The cellist is the greatest cellist I'd not heard of, yet I don't intend that to detract from the quality of the playing of the other two performers or of the whole group. I experienced the performance as stunning, and I don't think any of the old favourites are superior (eg Beaux Arts). Because of the high quality of the recording, it will be my go to from now on. For me, it captures fully the innate beauty of this compositional masterpiece, which has been for many years one of my favourite pieces of all music. Unlike one previous commentator I tend to prefer live (and therefore unedited and integral) performances over studio versions.
As a lifetime pianist having worked on this with my parents, knowing Beaus Arts version, Ani is phenomenal as all One of the best Phrasing detail incredible What a difficult work Love❤️❤️
You lucky dog! I would love to have taken part in a performance or even just rehearsed this. My favourite recording is by The Oistrakh Trio, (possibly because my first experience). Opus 97 is so deep, rich, profound, it can sustain numberless interpretations. I just want each gneration to embrace, love it and give us unique performances of ir..
Amazing how a novel can increase the interest for music, in this case Archduke Trio. Murakamis novel has hereby made a great job in supporting classic music! And what a wonderful music!
I hold this to be one of the best clues to classical music, this theme Andante Cantabile at 20:05, a simple melody, or theme, that then developes into something so much more, leading to a deeper understanding of the initial thoughts of this work. For me it was a revelation when I the first time heard this musik IRL, long ago. And this fascination still is my companion.
Beautiful sound they make together. If you only listen and not see, how do you know if you are not hearing the top musicians in the world? I thought I was. Bravo!!!
There is so much talent out there, why is it then certain names, performers, conductors, even composers etc are the ones we hear and see all the time at major music events. They're the ones who get all the media attention and receive all the accolades?
They may not be the greatest soloist, but good enough to be one of the best trios; besides all three are Juilliard graduate, Paul and Gilles Avery Fisher prize winners, Ani principal orchestra cellist.
In fact, these three ARE among the top musicians of the world! Otherwise, how could they play this masterpiece in such an impressing way? Each of them is so involved in making their own part a whole together with their partners! And the phrase starting around 30:00 is so touching! We must be very grateful that concerts like this once existed (right now they don't).
This is a delight! Doing a course on Beethoven's piano sonatas led me to investigate his trios. So glad I started with this one! Exquisite playing. What a joy brought to the isolation of lockdown :)
Todo es un delicioso y extraordinario juego virtuoso, fruto de largas horas de ensamblado con tres descollantes solistas que saben muy bien lo que hacen, unidos por el violoncello, para brindarnos esta brillante interpretación para no cansar de escucharla. Muchas gracias. Mario Carlos Ginzburg desde Bs. As.
This is a beautifully played well-balanced and unpretentious interpretation of the trio. It is satisfying visually and musically. The video is very good and the sound superlative. Thank you for posting it complete.
As he listened to the first theme tears came to his eyes then the floodgates opened. Jeez, he thought, when was the last time I cried? He couldn't remember. [22/04/2024- Kafka on the shore- 44]
Felicitaciones a Cameraa Pacífica por la magnífica interpretación del "Archdduke" , una de mis favoritas obras de el meastro LVB. Siento curiosidad por el mencionado libro del escritor japonés Kafka on the Shore, el cual asocian con este piano trio. Tendré que leerlo , me pregunto si agregará algo de valor al esta sublime creación de Ludwig. . .
Wish I could hear a studio recording of this trio; they are exceptional musicians and the quality of this performance is limited by the acoustics of the auditorium.
As a musician and sound engineer, I hear nothing wrong with the acoustics on this recording. I'll bet if you change your focus from the sound to the composition itself and the marvelous playing of these fine musicians (goose-bumps at the end!), you'll be drawn into the joy and emotion of the music and will completely forget about any mundane considerations such as the acoustics of the recorded sound.
Der 2. Satz ( ab 20:05) könnte sogar Herrn Trump Heilung bringen, aber der hört nicht so gern etwas von Frieden ("Pacifica") und Demut vor der Kunst eines Zeitgenossen und Landsmannes seiner Vorfahren aus Kallstadt (Germany).
Since we're all here because of Murakami: I kind of felt like this was minor weak point of the novel. Having the high school dropout trucker character go watch New Wave French cinema and discuss obscure classical music in a coffee shop, seemingly for no reason? Seemed like Murakami was having a pretentious wank. I get that Hoshino needed something to cause him to contemplate things and come to a realization about his life, but doing it this way seemed forced and out of nowhere. And not in the fun sort of "out of nowhere" that makes Murakami's stories so great. No, this was just kinda silly. Still a great book.
I feel that way too. But at the end of the day hes just sharing something he really loves to his readers. If he mentions other forms of art in his work, he must really love it and wants us to hear it too
0:00 Allegro moderato
13:20 Scherzo. Allegro

That cellist is just pure beauty and passion. I feel like I can feel her body heat from where I'm sitting.
If i could only listen to one piece of music again in my life it would be this recording of this piece. Absolutely beautiful
I once heard this in a chamber festival in a church in Umeå, Sweden, it was early summer, the sun was still there even if it was late, and afterwards I was so happy! One of my lifes most memorable music moments.
Other than Finlandia, this is it.
I've arranged to have a wonderful trio play the third movement at my memorial if there is one and it's far off. Too bad I won't be there.

I'm reading that book now.
Era Kafka en la orilla o Tokio Blues?
There's nothing better when a piece is recorded immaculately on youtubd
Mr Hoshino says hi ;)
Here after reading the book
Awesome! He brought me here too 👍
I read 2 times kafka on the shore
Came here literally after reading the part when Nakata died😢
🌻
There is so much of Beethoven's comic genius in this work.
Each one of them had, showed, and played with the joy of making music.
now i understand why mr Hoshino loved this
What a delight!

One of the best Archdukes I've heard to date.
Incredible, isn't it? Thanks for listening!

Even at the end, Ani catches superfast with her eyes the slight bow of Paul 🙂
Excellent point. Ani is extraordinary in that regard. Without overdoing it
I admire Camerata Pacifica for playing this with such a refined beauty, the right balance with no exaggerations at all.
Yet sensitive to that wonderful Beethoven beat.
Oh My. These musicians are indeed exhorting Beethoven to release his anxieties. So, so well done. Beautiful understanding of Beethoven. Really quite wonderful.
Nicely put, Brian! We wholeheartedly agree.
Agree Bryan. Profound conversation
Bryan nice to meet a man who is in touch with emotion.
Not even a smudge, great sobriety, absolute fidelity to the text. Well done !!!
Perhaps Beethovens best piano trio? I think it is, with this flowing melody in the Allegro Moderato, and then this wonderful third movement, Andante Cantabile, like poetry in motion. Very well played, Camerata Pacifica.
Perhaps the best piano trio, period.
As wonderful as is the "Archduke", the "Ghost" enchants me even more. Nonetheless, this is a brilliant performance.
This performance was an inspired revelation. The artists here are superb! I can’t imagine a better performance. Their playing of the last movement lifted my spirits. Thank you!

Ditto.
In an extremely competitive category, this is one of, if not the, best performances of this precious piece I have ever heard.
it was practice tempo :(
Besides the great playing, I must say the acoustics of the room are perfect for this piece. Just the right amount of reverb.

The tearing sound in 21:53 follow by the piano and cello. It's just, fantastic, makes me cry.
I have heard six versions now, since I met this beautiful piece on Danish tv. This is by far the best.
Absolutely wonderful performance. Thank you.

Gorgeous. The cello sound is (in my view) just wonderful for this, but then they all are amazing.
The maximum trio performing of beethoven,divine,superb,simply cheerful...
I love this piece. Masterful performance. Ani is mesmerizing.
is this not literally the definition of professionalism?!

In many ways the trio of piano, violin and cello is the perfect music ensemble.
@@malcolmabram2957I completely agree. As an avid listener of chamber music, I feel the piano trio over time has been the richest genre
It is also most illuminating to listen to all of the previous trios, though I agree that this is the best
To my friends in El Paso Texas, we will hear this piece on August 20, 2022. I can't wait
19:54 made me laugh. Classic Beethoven. Well done Camerata Pacifica!
This. Wonderful Trip was composed at the same time Beethoven composed the 7th and 8th Symphonie in 1811 when the Master was 40 years old

最も美しく素晴らしい「大公」♪♪
I cannot stop listening to this...
Obrigada, Sr. Hoshino🌻
Este conjunto atingiu a ternura mais sublime expressa nesta delicada e pungente obra do grande Beethoven. Maravilhoso.
What a joyful finale! They are fairly dancing it.
1:55 the articulstion and phrasing in the piano part is divine
The sound is the same as when Cortot and Casals played it. I like it. very much, wonderful.
Beautifully done! Lovely balance and interplay between artists.
My favorite piece by my favorite composer. Immaculately performed. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Brevíssimo beautiful cellist, violin & Piano.
A superb performance, paying top quality tribute to an outstanding composition.
Superb,extraordinary,the best of trío a real máster piece,beethoven surely had heavenly connections,his inspiration wasnt of this world.
The Maestro would love to hear this.
この素晴らしい演奏の心地よさは天下一品、計り知れない深さがあり語り尽くせません

How absolutely wonderful
This music comfort me every time when I am depressed, especially in 3rd movement!
Just marvelous 😪
