César Franck: Piano Trio No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1/1 [Richter, Kagan, Gutman] (1/3)

Trio concertant No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1/1, for piano, violin and cello (1840)

I. Andante con moto

This piano trio is the début composition of César Franck (1822-1890), the first published work of the Trios concertants, Opp. 1-2 (The other three trios are also posted on this channel). It took me a while to appreciate this work, but now it has become one of my favourite pieces of chamber music, especially when given such a breathtaking, passionate performance. The recording is from a 1983 recital given by Sviatoslav Richter (piano), Oleg Kagan (violin) and Natalya Gutman (cello) in Moscow.
