The Abegg Trio, a distinguished chamber music ensemble, has built a commendable reputation within the classical music world for its delicate interpretations, technical proficiency, and a broad repertoire that extends from the classical to the modern era. Named after the musical theme “ABEGG” from Robert Schumann's Op. 1, which in German musical notation corresponds to the notes A-B-E-G-G, the German ensemble has been active since its founding in 1976. It originally consisted of violinist Ulrich Beetz, cellist Birgit Erichson, and pianist Gerrit Zitterbart, who have collectively dedicated their careers to the exploration and performance of piano trio literature.

Known for their cohesive sound and insightful musicianship, the Abegg Trio has recorded an extensive series of albums, as evidenced by the volume numbers in their release titles. Over the decades, the trio has been faithfully documenting its interpretations of essential works by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvořák, and other luminaries of the trio repertoire. Their recordings, such as the "Abegg Trio Series," offering volumes like 13 through 26, showcase the group’s commitment to comprehensive artistic projects and their passion for sharing a wide variety of compositions with audiences. As such, the Abegg Trio's discography serves not only as a testament to their artistic journey but also as a valuable resource for lovers of chamber music.
