From (early) Vienna with Love
In a continuation of The Vivaldi Project's exploration of little-known classical string trios, Leopold Hoffman's Trio O Divertimento in C Major will be paired with Beethoven's String Trio in D Major, Op 9. No 2. This particular Beethoven trio has been less frequently performed than the 1st and 3rd in this opus, perhaps as it was considered a 'stylistic throwback'. But, this trio is a vital and captivating work. Hoffman was regarded by his Viennese contemporaries as one of the most important and influential musicians of his generation. This program seeks to be a total immersion in early Viennese style.
