On Wednesday the 27th of June the Utrecht International Chamber Music Festival 2018 opened with a spectaculair openingsconcert by cellist Harriet Krijgh & Friends. Among two other brilliant pieces, they focused on Beethoven’s wonderful ‘Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1’, nicknamed “Ghost”. This nickname has probably been born out of a quote by Beethoven’s pupil Carl Czerny. According to him, “The character of the very slow to perform Largo is spooky and eerie, like a vision of the underworld.”
