Yo-Yo Ma Leonidas Kavakos & Emanuel Ax - Beethoven For Three: Symphony No. 1 / Op. 70, No. 1 "Ghost" / Op. 11 "Gassenhauer"

Facts Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos, and Yo-Yo Ma announce the fourth album in their Beethoven for Three series, featuring Symphony No. 1 (Op. 21) and the "Gassenhauer" (Op. 11) and "Ghost" (Op. 70, No. 1) piano trios, three works that span more than a decade of the composer's output. From Beethoven's cheerful "Gassenhauer" trio and the symphony that gave the world it's first glimpse of his revolutionary voice, carefully reinterpreted for piano, violin, and cello by Shai Wosner, to the singular "Ghost" trio, this recording marks another milestone in three friends' journey through the marvels of one extraordinary composer. Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 1 and Piano Trios Nos. 4 & 5 is slated for release August 22, 2025, on Sony Classical
