  Recording
The Trio in E Flat Major was originally recorded in a live performance at the Skaneateles Festival in 1997.
Unafraid to take chances, the trio played with vigor and spirit and total confidence--using the many dotted rhythmic patterns to drive the work to fevered pitches.
The marvelous synergy among these three musicians was immediately apparent, as the trio dug in deeply and wove an interpretation that had as much soul as it did substance.

The 'Archduke' Trio is one of the glories of exploring the piano trio repertoire and stands for many of us as the crowning triumph of the medium.

 John Sichel's Program Notes
Beethoven wrote this work in 1811, and dedicated it to the Archduke Rudolph, brother of the emperor Franz, Beethoven’s pupil, benefactor and-- as much as could be between a member of the royal family and a badly shaven commoner almost completely devoid of social graces-- friend.
The archduke trio was written towards the end of Beethovens ‘heroic’ period, the decade in which he wrote his 3rd through 8th symphonies, his violin concerto, and most of his other masterpieces.
Indeed the trio of the Archduke’s scherzo, a particularly grotesque moment, is reminiscent of one of Mahler’s most macabre ventures in that genre, that scherzo of the 6th symphony.

 Classical Net Review - Beethoven - "Archduke" and "Gassenhauer" Piano Trios
His great piano trios actually involve four "players" – violinist, cellist, and the left and right hands of the pianist – and distribute interest equally among them.
The "Gassenhauer" Trio is a fairly "unbuttoned" work, with a bright and bouncy first movement, slow-variations second movement, and a finale based on a popular aria by a composer named Joseph Weigl.
Throughout the trio, Beethoven almost obsessively explores all combinations of the instruments violin solo, cello solo, piano solo, violin with cello, violin with piano, cello with piano, piano left hand, piano right hand, strings alternating with piano, as well as the entire ensemble.

If Smetana's G minor Trio demands virtuosity of the pianist - the writing is worthy of a concerto - it also demands stamina and solid technical skill from all its participants.

 The Kungsbacka Piano Trio:  Reviews
Opening with Beethoven’s Archduke Trio, the players despatched the immense technical difficulties with consummate ease, and always with the greatest attention to balance, shared musical phrasing and dynamics, whether in the impish innocence of the Scherzo, or the gloriously sustained tones of the slow movement.
Rachmaninov’s Second Trio Élégiaque is all about the piano, with frequent passages of concerto-like writing, and where the string players are often cast more as spectators to this dazzling display of sheer virtuosity.
The Kungsbacka's perceptive definition of style was equally in evidence in Dvorak's "Dumky" Trio, not the easiest of works to bring off by any means but here fired by a momentum that gave a gripping sense of cohesion to the music's capricious switches of mood.
