Breaking News: Beethoven For Three Series by Yo-Yo Ma, Emmanuel Ax, and Leonidas Kabacos
Renowned Musicians Release Fourth Beethoven For Three Album
In a groundbreaking development for classical music enthusiasts, Sony Music Korea has announced the release of the fourth album in the Beethoven For Three series. This collaboration between cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emmanuel Ax, and violinist Leonidas Kabacos is set to redefine the way we experience Beethoven’s symphonies.
Exploring Beethoven’s Masterpieces
The new album features three of Beethoven’s most celebrated compositions: Symphony No. 1 (Op. 21), Piano Trio “Ghost” (Op. 70 No. 1), and “Gassenhauer” (Op. 11). These pieces are arranged for piano, violin, and cello, delivering Beethoven’s music in its purest form while maintaining the intensity and orchestral imitation.
Yo-Yo Ma expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “It is really nice to be able to play the symphony together through Sony Music Korea. I think it is more important today to go back to the essence where friends share music together beyond the existing framework that divides music into genre or role.”

The Beethoven For Three project began at the Tanglewood Music Festival in 2021. Since then, the trio has released three previous albums: “Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 2 & 5,” “Symphony No. 6 ‘Pastoral’ & Op. 1 No. 3,” and “Symphony No. 4 & ‘Archduke’ Trio.” Their latest release is expected to showcase the evolution of their musical journey over the past decade.
