Piano Trio in g minor op. 8-Fr?d?ric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: ???On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven???t heard it for awhile I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!).??? Incidentally Robert Schumann also shared this opinion writing in a review: ???Is it not as noble as possible more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by apoet original in the smallest detail as in the whole every note music and life'??? We agree with this verdict and recommend this trio in our new Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. Five multi-movement trios for piano and two string instruments by Sibelius are known from the years 1883?1888. The ?large? trios, such as the Havträsk and Korpo Trio (JS 207, JS 209), were written for the classical piano trio scoring of violin, violoncello and piano. Apparently, Sibelius kept composing trios to play among his family and friends, having in mind to be one of the musicians himself. Chamber music was an essential part of social life. When listening to Sibelius? trios, one cannot help but notice that the repertoire included many works of Viennese Classicism. Although Sibelius's feelings towards his youthful works were not exactly uncomplicated, Sibelius biographer Otto Andersson later reported ?that the master, in later years, missed [the Korpo Trio] very much and would have been very pleased to see [it] preserved.? / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

Archduke. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. By the time Beethoven completed the ?Archduke? Trio in 1811 he had been working on it for several years. In April 1814 he could finally give the work its première together with Ignaz Schuppanzigh and Joseph Linke, this being Beethoven?s last public appearance as a pianist. He dedicated the piece to his friend, pupil and patron, Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Today it numbers among his most celebrated pieces of chamber music, not least because of its remarkable melodiousness ? a feature typical of Beethoven?s music from these years ? and its spacious formal design. Jonathan Del Mar?s new critical edition of the Trio draws not only on early prints but also on various handwritten sources. A detailed introduction by Misha Donat is devoted to the work?s historical contexts. - Urtext edition of Beethoven?s most famous piano trio - Detailed introduction (Eng/Ger), editor?s foreword (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

(Lonely Angel). Par VASKS PETERIS. For my Meditation for violin and string orchestra Lonely Angel, I was guided by the following vision: An angel hovers over the world, contemplating the state of the battered Earth with tears in his eyes. But an almost imperceptible, loving touch with his wings brings comfort and healing. This piece is a response to the pain. The solo part of the violin lends a sonorous voice to the lonely angel who tirelessly watches over the Earth. The version for piano trio was composed at the suggestion of the Trio Palladio.
