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.
