London Fortepiano Trio

The London Fortepiano Trio is established as the leading ensemble specialising in the performance of Classical and early Romantic piano trios. Their repertoire is founded on the greatest works written for the genre, namely the trios of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Their use of historical instruments is not for didactic purposes but for the purpose of stimulating audiences by their recreation of the sound world familiar to these composers. The lighter, brighter sound of their instruments, together with their dynamic yet expressive playing make an immediate impact on the listener. The Trio has performed in many festivals and concert series throughout Europe and the Far East. Recent appearances include concerts at the Salzburg Mozart-Woche, the Festival of Flanders in Bruges, the Beethoven Fest in Bonn, and the St.Petersburg Festival of Early Music. In addition to many radio broadcasts, the Trio has made numerous recordings, including the complete Mozart trios and trios by Haydn and Beethoven for Hyperion.
