The Sitkovetskys were last at Nicholas Yonge in November 2021 playing Schumann, Arensky and Tchaikovsky to enthusiastic acclaim. It is a great pleasure to welcome them back to perform two pillars of the piano trio repertoire – Beethoven's Ghost Trio and Schubert's B-flat Trio – together with an immensely energetic and tuneful trio by the late 19-century Swedish composer Elfrida Andrée. We are sure you will enjoy making her acquaintance.
Like three good friends
enjoying a glass of wine and a natter, the Sitkovetsky Trio sparkle with
conviviality in this pairing of early and middle-period Beethoven. It’s
wonderfully uplifting. BBC Music
