246 Beethoven: Violin Concerto op. 61 & String Trio op. 3

Description

A soft knock at the door. Who is it? Could it be? – Hopefully it is! – Hidden feelings, longings arise, a sense of who and what it could be, and then the door opens, and it’s him – rather than crashing in he enters cautiously, and the reality is even sweeter and more beautiful than imagined – please excuse me giving rein to such unrestrained romanticism, but these are pretty much the associations running through my mind as I listen to this recording. The tapping motif in the timpani and the singing lover are as one: Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is chamber music. Daniel Gaede plays unaffectedly without any soloistic pretensions and on the same wavelength as the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra under Wojciech Rajski. As a prelude rather than an encore, the three brothers in spirit, Daniel, Thomas and Sebastian Gaede play the Serenade op. 3.
