Beethoven's Opus 1 signaled his readiness in 1795 to make his mark in the world of Viennese classical music, and 16 years later his final piano trio, the “Archduke”, epitomizes the breadth and warmth of Beethoven's Heroic Period. Rachmaninoff's youthful trio of 1892, at age 19, already shows in the virtuoso piano part his ability to evoke a wide spectrum of sound colors.
Formed in 1999, the Amelia Piano Trio was presented in Carnegie Hall debut in 2000 by their mentor Isaac Stern. Known for their charismatic and extroverted performances, they’ve been NPR Ensemble in- residence, and are now based in Oregon. “[The Amelia's] ...careful attention to balance, tonal beauty, and teamwork was exemplary.” - Strad Magazine; “Together they make music that is daring, lively and completely engrossing.” - The Seattle Times
