Allyson Devenish chooses her favourite recording of Schubert's Piano Trio No 1 in B flat, D.898
Schubert began composing this masterpiece in 1827, the year before his death, at the same time as working on his famous song cycle Die Winterreise. It was a period in his life of illness and melancholy. But this work is brimming with lyricism and life force. Robert Schumann said of it: 鈥淥ne glance at Schubert's Trio in Bb and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again.鈥 The work has attracted all the great performers of chamber music, from Alfred Cortot, Jacques Thibaud and Pablo Casals to the Beaux Arts Trio to the best musicians of today.
