Degani Piano Trio is joined by Sylvia O'Brien in performances of atmospheric Irish and Scottish folksongs arranged by Beethoven himself for piano trio and voice. Poets include Robert Burns, Sir Alexander Boswell, Anne Grant, William Smyth and James Hogg amongst others. The concert opens with the exuberant and rarely heard early Piano Trio WoO38 in E flat major and ends with the mysterious Piano Trio Op.1 No. 3 in C minor which was regarded by Haydn as too revolutionary for audiences of the day!
