Dedicated to Tsar Alexander I and his family, this album of chamber music by Western European musicians presents the musical activities of the Russian court at the beginning of the 19th century. The Pleyel Trio, made up of Russia's best period instrument players, dynamically captures the various aspects of classical musicians, from composers active in Russia such as Hessler to Hummel, who made an enthusiastic tour of Russia, and Beethoven, who dedicated works in Vienna.
